... Granada, we saw white wind mills, which were very pretty and impressive. We had a dinner buffet in the hotel. The hotel room was a little shocking... No carpet... and a 12" TV!!!!!! Super tiny... how can that be a 4-star hotel?????<br>

... civiques. Je suis bien heureuse de ne pas conduire. *** On etait hier a Cuenca. C'etait magnifique, mais malheureusement tres petit et on a tout fait la ville en 3-4 heures de marche relaxe en faisant des pauses. Je vais poster des photos si l'ordi ne plante pas une autre fois... *** Je hais les femmes qui travaillent au service a la clientele et qui ne comprennent pas le but de leur travail (sauf ...

... likely the last time I will ever set foot in Toledo. It's funny ... somehow it no longer seems as magical here. Perhaps the romantic mystery of Toledo for me resulted only from the smile of a beautiful Spanish girl? It's amazing how a single chance encounter can colour your perceptions and memories of a place.

Some of them have the most beautiful balconies with flowers spilling over like water. Well, I'll write more later because Cristina is back and probably wants to use the computer to do real work. Check for updates (and notice there are now pictures from Los Palacios). Adios

So, I was walking around in a big, beautiful park heading for the Prada and it occurred to me that finding a Spanish/English dictionary would be good. I passed a kiosk where a woman was buying some film. I'm not sure why but I decided it was okay to barge right up and ask if she spoke English. Turns out she did as she was from Germany here in Spain to study the language. I have a map of the down town area that I picked up at the ...

... pinch her with a needle if she went to sleep before she could pray at night. Now young girls offer needles and pins to find a suitable companion. There were even two toothpicks in the box.
