In September there was an image processing conference... in Spain. How could I resist? So began my first (hopefully of many) European adventure....

I've patterned these pages after Philip Greenspun's famous online photo essay Travels with Samantha. I've selected a few photos to accompany the text, but each page also contains a link to a more comprehensive gallery. The last paragraph on each page is a link to the next stage of my trip. For quick reference, here's an index of the pages by country, click on Spain to start at the beginning.
