Always buckle up children, one sudden turn and you could end up like Pooh...

I took this on Sunday when I was walking home from the market. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

In other news, the refrigerator in our apartment is broken. This means all my food spoiled and I've been living on PB&J and cereal for the past day and a half. Please note that I must eat the cereal sans milk, so it's been quite a crunchy experience to say the least. I would have bought some food yesterday but it was Sunday and, as you know, Spain shuts down every Sunday for the majority of the people. Though, I suppose if you're name is Moses or Pilar, you could get a store to open up for you. Unfortunately, my name's Jackie and I'm a peon. But that's okay, peons have more fun because they have less responsibility.

Anyway, every time I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich one of my roommates looks at me like I'm crazy. "And what is that?" he asks me. I just tell him that it's an American delicacy and if he's lucky, maybe one day I'll make him one. Today after class I am going to buy some fruit and vegetables so I don't feel like such a carb.

And the last bit of news I have is that this weekend I'm going to Sevilla! I am going to try to visit Córdoba and Cádiz as well because they are only about 45 minutes away by train. Hooray for visiting the south of Spain! It's the Spain that Hemingway wrote so much about and I really can't wait to see it.

I always keep The Sun Also Rises close to my heart. I want to read it again, but in castellano. What a nerd.

During a particularly lean period in the early 1970s my friends and I subsisted on Dos Equis and cereal.
