12 March 2009 - Back from Carnaval

Hiya, welcome to my site.

I just came back from spending a week in Tenerife with some friends and family celebrating my birthday among other things.. It was Carnaval when I was there, which is a pretty big celebration where everyone gets dressed up and parties in the streets till really late at night. It was nice of the town to have a party for me, I felt very touched by the gesture ;)

Aside from all the partying the Canaries are worth visiting anytime. They are a bunch of volcanic islands just off the coast of Africa, they're part of Spain and Tenerife is one of the biggest with a volcano called 'the Teide' which rises almost 4000m above sea level. The landscape is pretty dramatic as you can probably imagine, and the land is very rich and full of vegetation in the north of the island which gets most of the rain. If you ever come this way give the south of the island a miss, its nowhere near as good as the other side. I spent some time in La Orotava, and Santa Cruz. They are probably the best place to go to.

06 Feb 2009 - New Site!

I just re-designed it and created a new version of the system behind it so I can change the content easily whenever I want.

I also have a blog: http://sdesalas.blogspot.com. I'm in the process of moving it so you'll find at the beginning a lot of the content here is just copied from there anyway.

This is me standing next to Boris' office (London Town Hall). I came to see him about the appaling situation for londons cyclists, "HI BORIS!.. I loooove your hair! ;)"

In the meantime I've been taking to riding around the streets of london wearing my other superhero outfit: FLOUROMAN.

You cant see it in that photo but I have a tight T-shirt with a big "F" plastered in the front of it underneath my flouro cape and I fly around highlighting the streets behind me. If you dont see any more posts in this blog its probably because I plastered myself against the back of routemaster bus and I'm wearing leg and arm casts instead for the next 3 months.
