I'm going to go a day early and do a tour of the city, and I'm sure I will get to see a little bit in the evenings, but by and large, I'll be there to work so I won't get to experience it fully. I'm excited to go, but a little bummed that I'll be in Europe and really only get to see it for 1 day.
I had the same kind of trip to Prague. Yeah, it was only a day but still fantastic. Enjoy!

The food was amazing. Paella, tapas, fresh seafood, wine, cava (local champagne), jamon y queso, all sooooo good.
The women... OMG... unreal beauty.
And the architecture was awe inspiring everywhere you went.

SFW, but some pics are huge:

I *highly* recommend it. The cost of being a tourist there seems relatively cheap compared to other big European cities. But I haven't been anywhere else, so I might skewed in my perception a little.

I just passed through the Crow Indian Reservation... That's the same as international travel I think. The gas station had some suspicious homemade wrapped jerky sticks that I passed up on and am regretting.

I would never pass up a homemade meat stick. What’s wrong with you?
