This blog is to share with you some of my enjoyable times of my life. I talk about things I love to do and adventures I have gone through. I take the liberty to recommend places, activities and food that in my opinion are worth to try.
This is just a tool to help you to make your own decisions when you are ready to go to those places (obviously from my own point of view).

Hehehehe I know! A big name for just some games at home, but you see, the way that all matched was deserving a big name! :D
On one hand, Patxi and Montse were sure about coming to play the Madrid Tourney just few days before. Otoh Héctor Klíe, the current President of the Scrabble in Spanish International Federation, was in Spain due vacations. The really special thing was that by coincidence Patxi and Montse went back to Girona on Monday 31st. morning… and Héctor also was going back to his home in USA the same morning! How could I resist to try to arrange some games at home then?? :D
Héctor has his day so busy already, so we should talk around 9 at night to see if it was possible to play a bit. Due different reasons, Héctor arrived at home at 11.30 that night. Topo was also at home but ill, so he can´t play.
So the tourney was between Montse, Patxi, Héctor and I.
No matter we were playing just a few friendly games, we took it very seriously.
Here the resoults:
Héctor had the first place, Patxi the second one, so they play the final match… starting at 2.20 a. m.!! :D
Patxi won that game, 473 to 453, 3 and 2 scrabbles. So, they decide to play the revenge…
Héctor won this one, 550 to 378; 4 and 3 scrabbles. So… they decide to do a new revenge! Starting at 4.14 a.m.!!! :D
Héctor also won that one. 497 to 452, 4 and 3 scrabbles.
I was the public, the judge and “the coffee girl” hehehehe.
Actually it was so nice to watch Patxi playing, afterwards I asked him some whys and was so nice for me to note that I would took some same decisions. :D
Of course it was a Price for the first place! : D
At 5.00 in the morning we were telling good bye to Héctor and I went with Patxi to talk a bit while he was smoking… to talk about scrabble! Of course! Hehehe. Patxi and Montse went out at 6.00… Montse should go straight to work from the airport!
We also concluded that Héctor has some kind of “cameras sensor” Every time I made a click, he was smiling to the camera! :
We had the honor of having the visit of the current President of the International Scrabble in Spanish Federation, Héctor Klíe and his wife, by chance they both were on vacations with their family in Spain. :D
Yuly is a Scrabble player from Venezuela. She was part of the great organization group of the World Championship 2009.
Ramon, her husband, has cycling as hobby and his team will do the Santiago de Compostela route cycling, starting from Burgos.
We enjoyed a great night with them, also came Carlos, Clara and Antonio.
Of course we played a bit of Scrabble!
We also went to dine to the restaurant Vino Tinto, btw great food, normal prices for the area it´s located, great attention. They had to wake up so early the next morning, so we can´t go to the karaoke that was a real pity because Carlos and Ramon make a great duet signing Serrat songs.
