Carnival

I've walked these streets
In a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers
The vendors & the dealers
They crowded around me
-Natalie Merchant

here again. Time is absolutely flying. Raining here. No biggie - at least it cooled off. I had a blog written on my laptop but I don´t have that with me. I was watching Real Madrid at one bar and then decided to hit the Internet before the big Atletico - Barca game at 21:00. So this is spotaneous. Impromtu. Live.

It was cloudy most of today and I spent a goodly chunk of time going through lessons 1 and 2 of the Rosetta Stone software that the Tietjens gave me as a going away present. It´s great. Thanks for the very nice present (they all must have been REALLY excited to see me go!!). Since I haven´t yet been able to find a Spanish Language school with night hours, I´ll just start pounding away at the software. I really need to be able to converse with these freaks over here.

All else is good. I dream of fresh vegetables. I dream of playing all day with your kids and then handing them back to you. I dream of Frippy. I dream of good service at a restaurant. I dream of snow. I dream of barbecued food.
