To the internet saga…
Well the saga is a bit perpetuated by me because I should have just bit the bullet and bought a USB internet, but I really do not need it in the apartment DESPERATELY.
I am not sure if I have mentioned a bar called, "Meson Luis". Now, Meson Luis is right outside our window…we are painfully aware of this when there are drunk old men screaming outside at 4am arguing about God knows ...
A little bit of Sevilla in San Vicente
