And I be slow at posting


So my internet that I was borrowing figured out I was borrowing it, and now I have no internet at my crib. I have not posted in a while, but I have some items that I have wanted to mentioned backed logged.

I have noticed that there are a ton of mopeds here. Not crazy. What is crazy are the insane number of girls driving them in high heeled shoes. That is crazy.

This town has a very good recycling program. I am impressed with how much more stuff that I can recycle here than in the states. And it is so much easier. The ironic thing is the amount of litter EVERYWHERE here. For a town with a sophisticated recycling program, a great percentage of the population does not know how to use a trash can.

People do not clean up after their dogs, at all. I have stepped in more shit in the last month than I had in the last decade in the states. I guess they are trying to mimic the folks that live in Paris (from what I hear).

I heard "Ice Ice Baby" in a bar the other day. Not overly wild, but I was talking with the bartender who put it on, and he was one of the cocky "I know all of the best music ever made" kids and was proud (not joking) about the Vanilla Ice. Yet, he never heard of Wu-Tang, or Autechre, or even Aphex Twin. If I am going to make live music in this city, it is going to have to be DJ mixes like a Middle School Dance party. You down with OPP?

When you go out, most of the time they waiters write you total down in chalk on the bar. When you are done, they add it up and send you on your way. See Picture.

That is enough of a rant for now, but I have another in process about our trip to Ronda this past Saturday. Killer place, killer view.
