Random Happenings in Cantabria
... for a few minutes and then I finished my beer and said that I was happy to meet her so on and so forth! I BOLTED out with my wifi password in hand!

You place your glass in the special holder ...
First Week OVER!
... one or two rogue middle schoolers that smoked secretly outside of school, but it was not at the level as here! Hordes of kids are smoking openly outside of school. Crazy!
