September 18, 1966: After a weekend break in Paris with Paul, Brian, and Neil, John travels to Carboneras, Spain to continue filming How I Won The War. He first stays in a seafront hostel, Delfin Verde (The Green Dolphin). Here, he picks up his nylon-stringed Spanish guitar and a tape recorder and works on It's Not Too Bad, a rough idea that will evolve into Strawberry Fields Forever. To accommodate his visitors (Cynthia, Ringo, Maureen, and others), he later moves to a spacious villa, Santa Isabel, and continues to shape the song. The villa bears a distinct similarity to the grounds of the children's home that John visited as a child and may have unlocked memories to inspire the song's title. Before leaving, he writes "Santa Isabel Demos" on the tape.
These demos were released as a bootleg in 1997. The distinct "let me take you down" part of the song shows up at 5 minutes in, but it's missing the song title. Wait another minute to hear John to name it directly.
The back of the bootleg includes a tracklist with take numbers. It's not quite clear how those were decided; they look incorrect to me. I've used the Nothing Is Real numbers to give the timestamps for each: 00:00 Warm-up 00:28 Take 1 01:16 Take 2 02:38 Take 3 04:09 Take 4 05:58 Takes 5 & 6 08:13 Rehearsal

Day 15 - Villafranca to Atapuerco
It was a strange old night and neither of us slept well. My bed was at a bit of an angle that sloped down the side I got out. There was a chap on the top bunk who left his rucksack by the side of his steps, the opposite side, which would also be the side I faced when sleeping. On the face of it everything would be OK, except that the clothes in his rucksack desperately needed washing! So I either got a face full of BO or slid off the side of the bed!
Anyway, on to today…11.2 miles covered. We were up with everyone about 6:45 but decided to stop behind to have a coffee before setting off about 7:45. We knew the first part of the day would be a climb and that it would be about 7 miles before the first village. Everyone was going on about the steepness of it so we had our bags taken ahead. In the end it turned out no worse than going up the Caerphilly ridgeway.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The path passed through deciduous forest which turned into a pine forest. The morning bird chatter assaulted us again and we could hear cuckoos too.
Tumblr media
At one point we passed a memorial to people killed in the Spanish civil war, and admired the heather in full flower.
After about 4 miles we came across a very bizarre sight that made us smile. There was this lovely friendly chap wearing an Irish rugby shirt selling snacks and drinks. He was playing bossa nova versions of well known songs from his car and had painted tree stumps, benches, and had made painted totem poles. I inadvertently sat on a newly painted bench and now have blue paint on my backside!
Tumblr media
We carried on to the end of the forest, and Jane was very happy to be approaching San Juan de Ortega and the promise of coffee which we drank overlooking the church and monastery.
Tumblr media
The next part of the walk was through deciduous woods but it looked like the trees had died.
When we emerged from the wood the whole landscape had changed. The mountains and hills have receded into the background and we were accompanied by the sound of cicadas in the verges.
Tumblr media
We passed through Ages, a really cute place, and after a contemplative rest arrived at Atapuerca just after 12:30.
Tumblr media
I think we were the first into the hostel. I know I keep using the term, but it really is quirky! We had our choice of beds which in our part are all big wooden structures with little curtains across like a cabin. Inside we’ve individual lights and USB charging ports.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After claiming our spots we went in search of food. The bar we came across didn’t really do what we wanted but found a typically local restaurant which did a ‘menu del día’ for 14 euros. We didn’t quite translate the first course correctly but the next two courses plus glasses of wine went down very well.
The hostel had started to fill up so I had a shower and Jane a nap. We then planned our walking days after Burgos and have nearly booked accommodation for the first 4 nights. May 1st is a public holiday in Spain and we’d heard stories about places being shut.
Once the local shop opened at 5, we got some bits to make a roll for tea then went up to see if the church was open. It wasn’t but the views behind it were lovely so just sat for a while.
Tumblr media
Tuna and tomato baguettes now eaten, we’re now sat outside chilling and chatting to Scott and his daughter Shannon from Colorado. The sun has gone behind the hostel now so it’ll soon be time to retire to our pods.

Barcelona
What trip to Spain would be complete without visiting the second biggest city of Spain? I knew I had to visit Barcelona before leaving Spain, and my trip to Barcelona was planned at the last minute. I decided to go the first weekend after the first week of school because it was easy to get to Barcelona from Madrid and cheaper to find accommodation in Spain in such short notice. I went with my roommate and a couple of friends from Canada came as well. This was the first trip that I had barely researched the city or planned things to do while there. Barcelona was certainly not the right city to just go with the flow. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We arrived in Barcelona early in the day and right off the train we went to a free tour I had booked beforehand. The tour was through the historical part of the city and our tour guide was a Polish girl who used to be a pastry chef in Barcelona. She found more joy in leading tours than making pastries all day, and now dedicates her time to giving tours throughout the city. Since she used to be a pastry chef, she had many recommendations for pastries and bakeries throughout the city and gave us an entire document she had made for all food recommendations throughout the city. The tour she gave us was extremely informative on the history of Barcelona and she has been the most impressive tour guide I have gotten so far. We learned that Barcelona only became a prominent tourist destination in Spain after the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Before the Olympics, Barcelona had grown as a prominent industrial city in Spain after the industrial revolution, and before this was just a small city in Spain. Even further back in time, Barcelona was just a small Roman town for retired militants. Barcelona didn’t become a part of Spain until much later, and in Barcelona the language of Catalan is still widely spoken. In fact many signs in Barcelona are just in Catalan, but it is easy to understand them as the language is very similar to Spanish. Going back to the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics, the beach and palm trees were planted solely to give the illusion that Barcelona was a great holiday destination so that in the Olympics it would show as such. This idea proved to be right because after the Olympics Barcelona has had a surge in tourists and economy and has maintained the tourist industry to this day. 
After our tour we had a quick lunch and checked into our hostel. I had assumed we were going to be staying in a female dorm, but because I was not the person to book the hostel stay I found out at the hostel that we were staying in a mixed dorm. I was very shocked when I found this information out, but it later proved to be alright. I would never choose to stay in a mixed dorm again for safety, but for the night it was fine. I slept very well in the hostel, and I’m glad I brought a lock to keep my items safe while I slept. Meanwhile, my friend had a very hard time falling and staying asleep because some people would come in late or create some noise while moving around (we stayed in a room that housed about 12 people). She said that someone was eating chips very loudly at midnight, and she was unable to fall asleep because of that. 
We checked into our hostel and then went back out to go to Park Guell. Park Guell is a park that has many of the famous architect’s , Antoni Gaudi, work. To get up to the park you have to walk up a steep hill and Barcelona decided to have nice weather right at that moment, so we all began sweating soon after. Once we got to the park we found out that you must purchase tickets with a certain time to get in, and we had just arrived when all the ticket for the day were sold out. We were able to get tickets for the next day at an early time, but we had just wasted an hour and trekked up a hill for nothing. A little frustrated, we then decided to go towards the Sagrada Familia, another one of Antoni Gaudi’s masterpieces and was only a 20 minute walk from where we currently were. We walked through residential areas of Barcelona, which was a nice way to get to know Barcelona on a deeper level. Once I was able to see the Sagrada Familia from a distance, I knew the trip there was all worth it. I was very frustrated at the time, but each step closer to one of the greatest architectural marvels in the world cleared my frustration away.  Unfortunately all the tickets to go inside the Sagrada Familia were sold out for the day (and expensive for around 38€), but thankfully the best part of the Sagrada Familia is the outside. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We had a flamenco show booked for the end of the day at the center, so we headed towards the area after visiting the Sagrada Familia. The flamenco show was, as always, beautiful to watch but I found it hard to stay awake because I was so tired. After the show, we walked around Barcelona trying to find a place to eat. This process took us almost an hour because there were few options and many places only would let you eat there if you had a reservation. We ended up eating in an Italian restaurant, which was thankfully very good. In a spur of the moment decision, I said that I wanted to go look at the beach after dinner. I knew we were relatively close and I wanted to walk on the beach at night. It was a 20 minute trek there and there was almost nobody there, but I loved it. Unlike the center of Madrid, Barcelona is unlively at night so it was slightly scary walking back to our hostel after the beach. Everything ended up being fine in the end. 
The next day we were able to get into Park Guell and spent a good chunk of time walking around and seeing the different architecture there. After the chill morning, we went to the Pablo Pissaco museum in the historic district of Barcelona. I far more enjoyed Park Guell than the museum, but I have always liked the outdoors compared to museums. The Picasso museum is an unskippable place in Barcelona, however, and I am glad that I went. We went to a pastry shop our tour guide recommended and grabbed a pastry before heading back to the beach. The pastry I had there was the best pastry I have had in my time in Spain. It was a special valentine pastry with passion fruit in the middle with a cover of white chocolate. We had a relaxing experience eating our pastries while looking out to the beach. We stayed there for a long time before heading back to the train station to head back to Madrid.

Saturday September 14, 2024
Camino Day Twelve
Morning routine completed and we were out the door and on the street at 9:45am. Seems late, but here in Spain, that’s kind of early. The city was just waking up, and then from about 2p til 5p, lots of places still close for siesta!
We walked together for about two miles, then San, Matt and Janet turned off on the Spiritual Variant. We were together for 10 nights, but the time seems to have gone by in a blur!
Jeff and I continued on alone. Felt really odd for the rest of the day.
The coastal route has joined with the central, so there wasn’t a time where we weren’t in sight of another pilgrim, generally groups of pilgrims. All sizes, shapes, nationalities and abilities along the way. Even pilgrims with babies!
We came upon 4 young Spanish men that were in a field posing for photos with a cow with horns - seemed dangerous! We stopped to take a break and they passed us, but we soon passed them again going uphill. We stopped in a cafe in San Amaro State bought cokes and ate sandwiches we had brought, and then they came into the same cafe - drinking beer, smoking cigarettes… no wonder we were able to pass them on the hill!
Another hot day, in the eighties with no breeze. We missed the coast!
We passed Hikers reciting the rosary, seemed like the guy was talking in Latin and the ladies repeated in English. I guess it can be a walking meditation for some in that manner, but I prefer silence for my connection to the spirit!
With 3 miles to go, we stopped at another cafe for Ice cream sandwiches. Great break on a hot day.
The whole afternoon we walked through Vineyards, with harvesting taking place. Fun to see the farmer drive the tractor right under the trelis!
We chatted with more pilgrims since it’s just the two of us now. It’s always fun to try to guess what nationality someone is, I’m about 50%!
Since it was just the two of us now, I had the thought that it’d be easier to “wing it” with accommodations. But looking at the photos and descriptions of the albergues and hostels: bunks in shared rooms and shared bathrooms and decided that wasn’t for me!
Back to Booking.com, I booked an apartment for tonight and hotels for our last two nights. Luckily, I’m proficient with Whats App and Google translate as that’s how we’re getting directions to get into the apartments, lock box codes for keys, etc!
Tonight we have a tiny efficiency apartment, just $84 and right on the route. We showered and went out at 6pm in search of a place offering early dinner - no such luck!
We grabbed a table at a bar along the river - mostly pilgrims for customers and lots of pilgrims still coming into town. The kitchen opened at 7 pm, so we stayed there for a fantastic dinner - salad for me and Salmon for JT.
As we finished about 8pm, the guys were just coming across the bridge - must have had a LOT of beer stops!
First night we were out in just shirts with no jackets - away from the coast and the days and nights have been significantly warmer. We walked around town a bit, stopped in the grocery store for breakfast items then back to the room for
Cribbage (I skunked him!).
Windows open to get fresh air, but town is very noisy (Saturday night). Will need ear plugs!

Week 14: Reflections
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my last blog post of this semester! It’s definitely bittersweet. I’m going to miss a lot about Madrid, but I’m also looking forward to starting my internship back in the US. It’s going to be hard to capture all that these last four months have been, but I’ll try to start with some things I’m going to miss about Madrid. 
Easily the thing I’m going to miss the most is the bustle of the streets. Not only are there people walking the streets everywhere, but there’s also always people sitting outside at the tables eating, drinking, and chatting with each other. Especially when the weather’s warm out, everyone will be outside and the vibes are just so happy and carefree. Life is slower here, and the streets are a perfect example of that (even the slow walking). One of my favorite experiences this summer has been watching El Clásico on the street outside a restaurant just around the corner from my house. They put up a TV on the outside, and there were so many people huddled together watching and cheering. Here’s a video from when Madrid beat Barcelona on penalty kicks. Seriously unreal.
Something about Spain in general that I’ve really enjoyed is the eating culture here. Eating lunch or dinner is always a social event, taking hours to just eat and chat with friends or family. Every meal is an excuse to hang out, and I really enjoyed that. I feel like a lot of the time, I’m really trying to get through lunch or dinner and move on to the next thing, but here, everyone always treats it like a true break. At first, I was a little annoyed at how long the waiters took to bring the check, but I’ve definitely grown to love spending hours at the table.
Also, the ease of travel has been actually insane. Like it’s on average less than $100 to travel two hours by flight. And the train system is so remarkable too. Plus, hostels make it so easy to travel without breaking the bank. They’re about $20-$40/night and are everything you need from a place to stay, plus they often have cool activities and are social if you’re traveling alone. I really wish there was more of a travel infrastructure in the US, like trains connecting major cities and hostels, or more affordable accommodations.
I’m also going to miss wandering around and just stumbling upon different shops, restaurants, and events. Being in such a walkable city has been amazing. When I have a few hours with nothing to do, I’ll just head outside and wander around. I’ve found some pretty cool shops and free exhibitions this way, and it’s been a great way for me to explore the city while staying active. I've also really enjoyed the painted shop doors all around the city that I get to see during some of my long walks.
Tumblr media
Another uniquely Madrid experience I’ll miss is going to see the sunset at Templo de Debod. I’ve gone a handful of times now, and sitting on the grass with like 50 other people, gazing over the city while there’s some live guitar and singing in the background is just such an amazing feeling. I love to just sit there, look out, and people watch until the sun goes down. 
Tumblr media
Now, as honorable mentions: I’ll miss Primark, the Ale-Hop across the street, Flying Tiger, the freshly squeezed orange juice from Dia, my local grocery store, and Danone yogurt (apparently this is the cheap kind, but it’s my favorite).
On the other hand, there are some things I’m really looking forward to when I get back to the US. We seriously take Target for granted, and I’m weirdly excited to be back in the presence of a Target. I also really miss driving. Driving with some music on in the background is one of the first things I’m going to do when I get back. Out of everything though, I’m most excited to be back in yoga pants and sweatshirts. Even though I’ve gotten used to dressing up here, there’s nothing like being in comfy clothes all day. 
Being abroad for these past few months has definitely made me want to bring certain things from the Spanish lifestyle here back with me to the US and make changes in my own life. I think I’ll try to be a tourist in my own city a little bit more. Traveling quite a bit has made me realize all there is to discover in every place, and I feel like I never do the places where I actually live enough justice. Even just thinking about Ann Arbor, there are so many restaurants and shops downtown that I’ve yet to explore, as well as markets and other festivals I feel like I could seek out a little more. Going off of that, I think I’m going to try to be more than a student when I go back to school in the fall. Usually, school consumes my life, and there’s not much time to do anything else, but I’m going to try to walk around to the parks in Ann Arbor and maybe just get lost in the streets of downtown a little more often. Another big one is scheduling more social time and chilling time into my life. I want to be able to read a book or draw after work on the weekdays, and now that I’ve seen it be possible for so many people, I’m going to try to make an effort to incorporate that into my own life.
Reflecting on classes this semester, I would say that they have definitely been easier than Michigan classes, but not really as easy as everyone says study abroad is. I’ve really liked my professors, and am especially thankful to have been able to do research here. I’ve learned a lot just from that this semester in terms of working in a global setting. My Spanish class has definitely increased my confidence in speaking, and I’ve learned how to say things in a more conversational way instead of in a more academic way like I’ve learned before. Taking Fluid Mechanics here has been nice too. Even though it’s my hardest class, there’s a lab component that has really helped me understand the more theoretical parts of it. And my Numerical Methods class has been so much fun too! It was so chill and I enjoyed learning more Matlab. 
Overall, this semester has been a nice break from everything, and I’m glad to have had this opportunity to grow and experience a different lifestyle from what I’m used to. I’m also thankful to have had this opportunity to document my time here with these blogs that have made me think more deeply about my time in Madrid. And thank you for following along!
Here are some pictures of the flowers finally blooming in Madrid and some other cool pictures :)

What makes Barcelona the perfect holiday destination?
Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia region in Spain, is one of the most popular holiday destinations for a reason. This vibrant city offers the perfect mix of everything: from practical considerations to fun activities. So, in this article, we will have a look at some of the things that make Barcelona the perfect city for your next holiday!
Accommodation options
Barcelona's accommodation scene is as diverse as the city itself, covering everything from luxury hotels and boutique inns to hostels and serviced apartments. Budget travellers can opt for the comfort of affordable hostels, while those looking for a more luxurious experience will have plenty of high-end hotels with panoramic views to choose from. The Lugaris holiday beach apartments Barcelona are also a brilliant option for couples and families looking to stay right on top of the beach. Therefore, whatever the needs, you can always find the right accommodation for you. 
Culinary scene
No discussion about Barcelona is ever complete without mentioning its mouth-watering culinary scene. The city is truly a foodie’s paradise, brimming with trendy cafés, tapas bars, seafood restaurants, and traditional Catalan taverns. The local cuisine is highly diverse, but for the picky eaters, finding international options will also not be a problem. Additionally, La Boqueria Market, located in the centre of Barcelona, is a must-visit for gourmets looking to savour fresh produce, meats, and artisan foods. It also makes for a great day out, experiencing the hustle and bustle of a local market. 
Sun and the sea
Barcelona's golden coastline stretches over 4.5 kilometres, offering a beach for every mood, from the never-sleeping Barceloneta to the serene Caldetes beach. The beautiful beaches are absolutely perfect for soaking up the sun, swimming, enjoying water sports, sipping on a cocktail, or going for a sunset walk. It is an ideal place to recharge from the city and, the best part is, the weather is warm and sunny throughout the year!
Rich cultural heritage
The city’s rich history is visible in every street and square, providing a range of cultural exploration opportunities. The Gothic Quarter, with its narrow medieval streets and historic buildings, tells the story of the city’s Roman and medieval past. Meanwhile, the magnificent works of Antoni Gaudí, including the iconic Sagrada Família and whimsical Park Güell, showcase Barcelona’s unique contribution to modernist architecture. Museums like the Picasso Museum and the Joan Miró Foundation offer insight into the minds of famous artists who found inspiration in the city. Barcelona is also home to lots of cultural festivals and events, which are also an awesome way to get a glimpse into Catalonia’s vibrant traditions.
Nightlife and entertainment
When the sun sets, Barcelona's nightlife takes centre stage! From the Gothic Quarter's intimate bars to the beach front clubs in Barceloneta, the city has a buzzing atmosphere, with venues for different tastes and styles. Live music, from flamenco to modern electronic beats, fills the air, ensuring that every night out is an experience. For those seeking entertainment, you can also visit the Gran Teatre del Liceu for an opera or any local theatres for unique performances.
Family-friendly attractions
Barcelona is not just great for friends and couples, but for families with children too. There are lots of exciting activities for both adults and the little ones, including the Barcelona Zoo, L'Aquàrium de Barcelona, and multiple water parks. For a more educational day out, interactive museums like CosmoCaixa have hands-on scientific exhibits. Moreover, the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc is also an exciting sight for people of all ages, presenting a show of water, light, and music. 
Outdoor adventures
Barcelona’s geographical diversity boasts ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. The city's parks, like the expansive Parc de la Ciutadella, provide green spaces for relaxation and a picnic, while the Collserola Hills, with their breathtaking views of the city and the sea, are the perfect spot for hiking and biking. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy surfing, snorkelling, diving, and kayaking in the majority of Barcelona’s beaches, making the city a true playground for adventure seekers.
Football games
Barcelona's football scene pulsates with electric energy, encapsulating the city's spirit and passion perfectly. Home to the iconic FC Barcelona and the majestic Camp Nou stadium, the city is a football wonderland for all the sports enthusiasts. However, even if you are just a casual viewer, attending a football game in Barcelona will undoubtedly be a memorable experience. 
Shopping opportunities
Barcelona is also a shopper's paradise, home to a blend of luxury brands, boutique stores, and local craft markets. The Gràcia district is always buzzing with trendy shops and fellow fashion lovers, while the Encants Market is a treasure trove of antiques and vintage clothes. The city has so many spots to buy one-of-a-kind souvenirs and crafts, or simply enjoy some window shopping. 
Conclusion
There you have it - if all of these reasons don’t make you want to pack your bags straight away, we’re not quite sure what will! With so many amazing things to do and see, Barcelona truly deserves the popularity.

Gyeongju, South Korea
I’d been in Busan for about a week.
I stayed there so long as I wanted to get a handle on Korea. 
I wanted to move on though to see what else Korea had to offer. 
I left the hostel and caught a bus to Gyenongju, the former imperial capital of Korea.
My guidebook to Korea was at stage proving as reliable as a sundial at night.
The former imperial city is a hodge podge, a mix of some older buildings, all low rise and many ugly 1980’s shops thrown into the mix.
It’s quite low key.
But of course the architecture isn’t the reason to visit the place, it’s the tombs and historical sites.
Emperors were entombed in burial mounds which were covered hills. They make for a striking sight. 
Tumblr media
When you see a double mound that’s where an Emperor and his Empress have been entombed. 
Tumblr media
The first night I’m there I stay in a courtyard guesthouse that could be in the countryside it feels that relaxed.
Tumblr media
It was a great break from the hustle and bustle of Busan. 
I have to move the second night as they’re full, so I head to the only hostel in town.
It has a nice mix of guests.
At night they have a roof top Korean style barbecue accompanied with a mix of native drinks that we each contribute. 
There’s an Italian guy staying there who’s been to 130 countries in the world.
He stayed in the same guesthouse as me in Port Of Spain in Trinidad & Tobago, it is a small world we live in!
Not sure where to go the following morning I consult my guidebook.
Not wanting to go to Seoul just yet, which will probably be my ultimate destination in Korea, I head to Jinju.
The other option I had was the popular holiday island of Jeju.
Unable to find accommodation on Jeju I pick Jinju.
Jinju turns out to be a place that doesn’t have too much to attract backpackers.
Leaving the bus station I go to find somewhere to stay.
None of the staff in the hotels and motels I check out can speak English.
Some of them put the palms of their hands together and rest their head on their hands to signify sleep. I nod.
Some display prices, some don’t.
One younger woman holds up a 10,000 Won note and four fingers to say that a night’ll cost me 40,000 Won, no way, I move on.
One older lady in a decent looking motel tells me ‘30,000’. I thank her and walk away. '25,000’; she’s open to compromise.
I agree, pay up and she hands me the key, no names, no pack-drill. 
It’s the early evening and I go to find the famous fortress for which the town is known.
The sun is going down and the streets have a pleasant end of the day feel to them. 
A sign at the gate says that the fortress closes at 18.00.
By now it’s 19.00.
A man hanging around the gate who wasn’t working there told me to head on in.
As it turns out the place is busy with people enjoying the evening, families and older people exercising energetically. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The following morning I have to take a taxi from the InterCity bus station I got in on to the Express bus station, where there are more options.
Every city has both an InterCity and an Express bus station.
It’s a bit of guess work trying to figure out which one will have the bus going to the place you want to get to.
At the Express bus station I can’t figure out where I’m going to.
Initially I think of Gwangju but decide on Seoul on impulse.
