On March 21, 2002 I had the good fortune to depart for a ten day trip to France and Spain with my friend Mike Ayers, flying from Newark to Marseille and then driving with Michael de V south past Valencia. Here are some highlights from the trip.

Morella

After three days of Catalonian liver abuse we decided to head to the small mountain town of Morella.

It's perched on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere and the entire town is enclosed in an ancient stone wall. The castle sits in the center at the peak and makes you realize that if you were alive during the era of castles and you owned a castle -- that would be cool.

After Morella we went to Denia and Cadeques. We celebrated my 28th birthday with absinthe. Drove a lot more...and I never scanned those pictures.
