Go, go, go, it is so well done and very effective. There is a lot of reading, but unlike other museums the information is printed out and placed throughout the exhibit. It’s a wonderful system because this way you can take all of the print outs with you and read them whenever you want. On the plane ride home, for example. It’s very moving.

Be sure to visit the House of Terror Museum first.

I love this house!

Great for music junkies – once. The exhibits are pretty permanent and they get old the second time around.

It is the same as any other Starbucks, save for the plaque that insists otherwise. And Starbucks are boring, so go somewhere else. There are many far better places that actually need the support.

I had the pear tart – it was utterly fantastic.

Not worth it except in the winter, when they set up a snow machine and it snows inside!

I know this town way too well. Just don’t go.

Go at night, it’s full of artists, musicians and other entertainment. The food is great, but check the prices and the bill so you don’t get ripped off. I stayed in the Hotel Plaza Mayor which was perfect, quiet and in a great location.

For some reason, there is this idea that it is cold all the time, but this is definitely not true. In the summer it is quite warm and beautiful! But of course it’s cold in the winter. Also, avoid the bigger cities and go camping or head for small towns with B&Bs.
