Looking for Sean McLachlan? He mostly hangs out on the Civil War Horror blog these days, but feel free to nose around this blog for some fun older posts!

You can also find him on his Twitter feed and Facebook page.

Missing Ethiopia

I've been back from Africa for a bit more than a month now and have just finished my Gadling series on travel in Ethiopia. Now I'm feeling some serious post-travel restlessness. This is common enough. A Swedish photojournalist I traveled around Somaliland with is feeling the same thing.

When the going gets tough, the traveler gets going! Now that the weather is getting nice here in Spain I'll be doing some hikes in the mountains, plus possible trips to Toledo or other interesting spots. I'll also be headed to Segovia, a beautiful medieval walled city not far from Madrid.

Speaking of beautiful medieval walled cities, I'm in the early planning stages of a two-month trip to Harar, Ethiopia. I spent some weeks there during my Ethiopia trip and totally fell in love with the people and history. There's an entire library of books that can be written on Harar, and I want to write at least one of them.

Looks like I have a travel bug that just won't die.

Después de un escurridiza pasada de puntero de ratón y una vez ganada la verja de su ciberespacio (personalmente prefiero lo de home) diré que fue grato reencontrar online al mismo Sean Mclachlan a quien ya había conocido personalmente en un bar de Madrid (cada vez creo mas en la diosa fortuna). Desde luego si algo no se puede decir de Sean, es que sea animal de sangre fría. Tampoco diría nadie que sus neuronas no tienen actividad y descartado lo de que no saca buen provecho de las oportunidades que se le ofrecen (no quiero decir con esto que se las pongan como a Felipe II…) Como os diría…, se me antoja un trabajo serio (que no exento de alegría, ya me entendéis), lleno de entusiasmo, libre de pereza, bien documentado y argumentado con unas finas pinceladas de sabiduría.
Ahí va mi saludo …Nice to meet you, Sean
