  Hola de España! The last couple of days I have been a little loopy. I mean that I have been a little bit discontent, a little uncertain, a little ungrounded.
The weather has been responding appropriately; alternatly cold, rainy, sunny, warm. I have been spending time in the bed and eating ice cream and chocolate sandwich cookies.... mmm. I could go for a chocolate sandwhich cookie right now. Currently I am in the computer cafe that I like, with the nice front desk lady- Eva. They play 80s music (Los Ochentas, as they are called here) and currently I am regalled with a song involving a series of ¨Don´t let me go! No, no no no no.¨ I can´t think of the title and I am too lazy to get up and ask Eva if she knows. I am not too lazy, however to sing out loud to the music as though I am alone. I am drinking a soda called KAS, which is an almost unsweetened lemonaid. Its a bit jarring, you open it expecting Sprite, and you get a very tart carbonated lemmon drink.
Its really good, though, and it has grown on me. Yesterday I had my first official English lesson with the Orthodontist. We discussed the difference between significant and important. It´s hard to explain things like that! Today Joshua and I went shopping and bought stuff for our salad lunch and some chocolate sandwich cookies to replace the ones we ravaged yesterday. They were his roommate´s and we ate the whole bag. This happened when Sergio (Joshua´s roommate, the owner of the cookies) and I were playing Yoshi´s World video games.
We kicked butt while we ate cookies. I am currently reading a book called ¨A Prayer for Owen Meany.¨ Owen is my new favorite fictional person. Anyone who has not already, should run immediately to Barnes and Noble (what are you still doing here? ) and buy it. It´s by our good friend John Irving (Cider House Rules) and so well written you forget its a book and not a conversation with new friends. Stephen King likes it too, he told me so- on the cover of the book. In other news, I recently purchased a Eurail pass and planned the Month of August . I am visitng with the girls from Boston from August 5-12 and we are going to Prague and visiting Budapest and Vienna... though this still needs to be sorted out entirely.
I am hoping that Noemi will be able to visit with me a little in Barcelona in that first week in August. I miss her! (to Noemi: I miss you! ) After the reunion entitled BOSTON TAKES EUROPE, 2004 I am travelling to Heidelberg to visit my good friend Petra!
Following this is my trip to Zurich to visit Anneleise. Then comes the currently undetermined itinerary of the ¨small town France tour.¨ As I have told you all, I plan to spend a good part of September in Ireland and then a quick flight to London and then life in the US will consume me once again. Start praying now for me, that the consuming life involves Sesame Street (Aka Barrio Sesame, Plaza Sesame). This weekend Joshua and I are camping on the beaches of Spain. Its really beautiful there and the camping is free. We are going to take food with us... and of course chocolate sandwich cookies.
