Private message screw-up
I tried a private message, but it took offf on its own halfway through. Dumb computer! To continue -- the Guardia Civil (paramilitary police with funny black hats) are really good guys, but do not mess with them. They are tough and do not take any guff from anyone. They follow Alan's philosophy - "Dont't give me no jive." Next - Semana Santa is an experience that you will remember. The local populace hve a parade and you might see people walking in it with KU Klux Klan type costumes, people engaging in self-flagellation, and people walking barefooted on glass, as well as other folks in costume. Eat some paella, omelettes, and Chateaubriand (not all at the same meal, though). Drink some of the local wines, especially those from Jerez de la Frontera. Do not stray far from other people. In other words, do not become too adventurous. Keep your money out of sight and safe. In other words, be cautious. If you go to Madrid for a day or two, be sure to visit the Museo del Prado. It is really a fine art gallery and you will see some pictures in real life that you have only seen pictures of. The two ost famous are the Naked Maja and the Clothed Maja. Above all, Nikki, take good care of yourself. Also, be sure that you and Sam take care of each other. Oh, yes, enjoy yourself as a second priority. I look forward to reading of your adventure. Send pictures, too.
