Well, I am using the wifi on campus now but it is shaky at best. I can't seem to get skype or any messaging services to cooperate except using Gmail to access AIM. Weirdness. I am thinking that maybe this is on purpose. As most of you already know, I have lost internet access at the house for the time being so I'll be making updates when I can from campus.
In any case, I thought I would give a short update of sorts. I explored the Casco Antiguo (old town) with Merche a couple nights ago and scoped out some neat shops that I need to check out in the next week or so while all the winter sales are still on. Everyone is trying to get rid of the winter merchandise and clear out for spring, already.
This is Plaza de America, featuring the Fountain of Gabinona
This is the church of San Juan, where Francisco Franco was married.
I have a lot more pics but I need to go geting I think because the janitors are turning off the lights... Bye!

Sandy,
What wonderful pictures of the downtown! Sounds like you're having a great time! In one of your past blogs, I saw that you have to do a report on gas, comparing US to Spain. Is that gas, as in gasoline or natural gas? Let me know if you need any help on the US side. I write about US energy issues, and I'd be happy to help. By the way, watch out for a small package coming your way. And just a friendly reminder that today is your dad's birthday, fyi. Your blog is great! Have a fabulous time!
best, Margie
Well I found out I can change topics if I wish, so I might do something else... we shall see. However, she was talking about natural gas. The class is about networked services essentially, like internet, water, electric, phones, radio, etc. We shall see how it goes, she seems interested in having a different take on it. There is an Italian guy in my class doing something similar too, but obviously comparing it to Italy.
