  4. Really enjoy your blog.. and find the resolutions pretty interesting. I am from Spain and live in the hood. Maybe we could get together at some point, grab some vino and talk about the handsome Spaniards (found it hilarious that you posted a picture of Zapatero...)

    ¡Feliz Año!

  6. Hola Allyn,

    Here you have the link to my blog: http://blogs.diariosur.es/vayaconlacalo/posts

    I am by Le Petit Cafe area, and I saw your painting hanging at Fat Cat, so I think we are pretty close to each other. Yes, we can talk about Spaniards a lot, too... hope I won't destroy the mystique :)

    Hablamos,

  7. Hola Carola,

    I checked out your blog and it looks great. Sadly I can't read very much of it, since I've yet to seriously use my "Rosetta Stone" to study Spanish. I will look again once I've learned more! We'll have to meet sometime, realize I may have to let go of mystique of the Spaniard. No one's perfect i guess ;)

  8. We should definitely get together. I am around in the hood on the weekends...It's always nice to talk about your home over a good glass of wine... Spanish, of course! ;)
