Sangria, Squashing And Stupidity...And Boobs
... high water fountain and jumping, belly flop style, off it and hopefully being caught by a group of drunk strangers linking arms. For the most part the people doing this came out with smiles but we did see two people that had to be taken away in an ambulance with some very nasty injuries!

... piece of advice to Cristobal. That way he could have decided for himself whether or not to listen to my suggestion. Instead I kept silent. And as a result, that hypothetical moment was lost in the abyss of other such hypothetical moments.
I had spoken with a few different people, while walking, the day before but it was nice today to have a walking companion for the entire day and have continuous conversation. He was an interesting fellow and very pleasant to talk to. ...
