6 spaniards that get a thumbs up

1. lola, the host mom who has been fabuloso with the sandwiches this week. nothing weird.
2. the boys who hop on the same metro car as me with their accordions playing for money. they also have stereos and tape decks bungee corded to wheeled carts so they can carry all their essential accordion gear with them.
3. the guy from niger that stands outside the grocery store by school every day asking for money. He tells me I'm a good person every day. (then he asks for some change). He told my friend he was here illegally, so when we passed him on our way back from the candy store, she gave him a gummy bear. He wasn't as excited as i thought he'd be.
4. guille (short for guillermo). I thought adrian was adorable, but his cousin guille (2.5yrs) is sooo cute, and he calls lola "abu" because he can't say abuela, and he wanted to know if she had a strong skeleton, b/c that's something important a 2.5yr old would have to know.
5. the lady in the elevator this morning (it's really warm outside) who was wearing a fur coat that must have taken 100000 animals to make, wayyyy to much red lipstick, and jackie-O style sunglasses. i held the door open for her and she told me i was pretty.
6. in general, i give a thumbs up to the spaniards who wear awesome pants. sure, the shoes in spain are amazing and shoeboy would have gone into a shoe coma if he was here, but the pants i've seen people wear in the past couple days have been AMAZING. i'm talking red pleather and some more of those MC Hammer pants.
