¿Como se enteró señor? Todo fué muy extraño, ya desde el principio.... Un mensaje .. alguien vendia jamón de canarias... Medio noseque de satira, medio cena, aquello era muy dudoso. Hasta 3 mensajes de Jamón Canario, aquello tenia un fin, y presentaba un jugoso aroma a carne tierna y rojiza... ¿Carne? ¿Jamón? Pero.... Esto .....es un restaurante ... ¿VEGETARIANO? ¿Que haceis vosotros aquí?, comedores de seres vivos Que alguien os dice que paseis al fondo del restaurante... ¿a la trastienda?... pero ... ¿No pagais? por adentraros en las tinieblas del local... ¿has dicho local? .. No, yo he dicho teatro. ¿Un gato?¿o una gata? ... Un gato coleccionador de perfumes de ahí... "los autenticos". Pero que extraño gatito... ¿Argentino? ¿francés? todo un artista Don Señor gato Gente por los suelos. Un pingüino, un burro, una gallina, ... read more

¡Hola! ¿Que pasa? Well I am now back in Utrecht after an amazing 5 days in Madrid, Spain! We had such a great time... cheap shopping, sunny weather, friendly people, and plenty of tapas and sangria! The cheap flight that we got to Madrid was with RyanAir (one of the cheapest smaller European airlines) and they only fly out of Eindhoven, Netherlands, which is about a 50 min train ride south of Utrecht.

Naturally we went on, usually choosing the more difficult path to lead us ... read more

While everyone else in the lab was freezing cold in Cambridge, I was sunning myself in Lanzarote with Charlie. The weather was even better than predicted, but I did get a little bit too warm when I went to visit the Timanfaya National Park and ended up on the volcano grill! The ground is very hot in that area and a barbeque set up over a hole is hot enough to cook chicken (and me). I also went to the Jameos del Agua caves, created by the outside layer of a lava flow hardening into rock while the molten lava in the middle continues to flow, making a tube. In these caves live a species of blind albino crab, which are otherwise found only very deep in the ocean. You can see me here by a ... read more
