Oh, and Maria should know: I did not blow up my hairdryer, but even if I had, I know where to find them cheap a la Spain: flea markets.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

sara, I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself! Walk, eat, repeat sounds fantastic.
I'm at work today, administering a practice AP exam to a tiny group of students.
I think we need a master list of Buffistas pottermore names. I have one, but I couldn't tell you what it is.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sara, I'm so jealous. Glad you didn't blow up the dryer.
How's the food?

Well, since I'm eating mostly tapas (and fruit, I've got to survive somehow) and since I don't really do the seafood kind it's a lot of different kinds of ham and breads. And things on sticks. And cheese. I need to try more of the sweet pasteries, but I just prefer savory. I've only sampled a few paellas, and those that weren't fishy I liked (I know, it is a failing.) And then some things I'm not sure what they were, I just managed to convey "not fish" after pointing to them.
I've even managed a few salady things...on sticks. Seriously, it was a cesaer salad on a stick. I dunno?
It's all good, but I am trying to find more veggies. I am missing them.

Sticks? The Spanish version of fast food....
I wish you liked the fish. The farmer's markets aren't teeming with fruits and veggies? Look for fruit and vegetable stands that are standalone in the neighborhoods.
Your new camera takes very nice pictures. I'm glad you're having a good time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could totally live on Spanish ham, cheese, and bread. Seriously.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll be curious to see what houses y'all get sorted into.

I got into Hufflepuff. WTFF?
I know! I'm in Hufflepuff, too! I was hoping for Slytherin. Well, maybe I can be a shady Hufflepuff.
