-What do time-boggled Borogoves do when they need to stay awake and reset their bioclocks? Find a bookshop-cafe, of course! (www.laie.es)
-Catalan feels like the matrixed product of French and Spanish, with an extra helping of X´s thrown in for fun. I´ve only learned a few words so far: xocolates. xapates. xarcuteria. amb. rom.
-Raj y Jess gave us a book made of magic. !Grathias!
-Day One: I ate tomates and fried eggs. And pan con tomate. (Granted, the fried eggs were drowning in foie gras and banyuls.) And I liked them. Russell think´s I´ve been replaced by a bot or an alien.
-I like meandering and perusing the wares in bookstores - even when I can´t read the books.
-Blue-haired girls are damned cute. Especially in chocolate shops.
-Mi espanol es mas mejor con los bebidas alcoholicas.
-Jamon y queso.
-I´m drawing! A lot! Dona y Tammy will be so proud! (D&T: If you´re not, lie.)
-I miss goblin. The parc guell gatos mew hola.
-Barcelona vindicates a lifetime of preferring my sandwisches dry or with olive oil. So there, USA.
-I am the only girl in BCN without boots.
-My mind is swimming in parabolic glee.
-I sucessfully navigated a yarn store today! Entirely en espanol!
-I am going to be a mess in Paris tomorrow, verbally. I tried out my French yesterday, and all my r´s are rolling, rolling, rolling, and everpresent.
-Miss you all! Wish you were here! (Beca, is AJ in college yet??)
