We've been in Spain for three days and so far, so good. Weather has been picture perfect and we are enjoying the wonder and glamour of old Europe. Did the double-decker bus tour the first day and saw some bull fights that night. To us Westerners, it's a rather odd mix of pagentry and brutal violence, but it is the culture. Visited the town of Toledo yesterday (30 minutes away by train).

Our waitress had issues with counting the number of different dishes we ordered, and as a result one of the girls didn't each her entire meal. Many restaurants offer you a full meal for one price - that'd include one plate (soup, salad or maybe some pasta), a second plate (fish/meat and potatoes) a ... read more

Él, el único, inimitable e incomprendido monstruo entre los monstruos- El Fary es Dios, dijo Torrente- se nos ha ido para siempre. Sirvan estas líneas de emocionado y sentido, a la par que torrentiano homenaje Que se lleven aquel toro del agua, que se lleven aquel toro del río que se lleven aquel que hay en la sombra,que se lleven aquel que hay escondido,pero aquel de la fuente que nadie lo toque que lo dejen tranquilo y no lo provoquen, ese toro bonito ya nació pa sementar. y ademas de bravura tiene pinta de don juan. (estribillo)-vaya torito ay torito guapo tiene botines y no va descalzo. yo sabia que no me defraudaba y se lleva detras todas las hembras,las quisiera montar todas a un tiempo a pesar de tener solo dos yerbas. pero aquel ... read more
