I Look Spanish... Until I Open My Mouth


Please treat the date of this post as a warning that I may be posting on Saturdays as often as Fridays.  Forgive me in advance.  This week, my excuse of choice is that I’ve been sickish since Thursday and it’s incredibly hot here.

Spain is incredible.  The people here have a sense of community that I haven’t witnessed anywhere else.  Policemen help old men to their seats at soccer matches.  Random people strike up conversations on the metro.  CafĂ© owners politely tolerate the broken Spanish of a young woman who just wants a chocolate croissant, dammit.

Get Excited, Breeches

I'm in Spain.  Derek and I switched blogging days again, so I will be posting this Friday and you all may start posting whenever you want.  That is all.
