Don't believe everything you read in this blog.
Anything I type is true, but the dates and times of these posts are pretty much random. For instance, the last post I wrote on the bull fight was actually posted on Wednesday I believe, but the blog says it was Monday. Times are also completely off. I'm going to try to figure out how to fix it, but don't hold your breath.
About the bull fight: Something like that would never fly in the United States. It's accepted here because everything is more extreme. For example, television news is much more graphic in Spain than it is in the United States. A few days ago, one story showed video of a man setting himself on fire. I think about families eating lunch and watching the 3 p.m. news. I can imagine little kids glued to the television and seeing this. It just feels a little bit too much to me. Maybe Spaniards have thicker stomachs than Americans, but it's just a different culture, it's a different world.

Josh - so glad we are finally using this forum for beat up Dad, just like dinner at home on the deck. Great hearing your story about the apples and honey - since we were at UCF (Check em out - almost beat Texas) - Dad and Jason and I had buffalo shrimp and chicken nachos on Rosh Hashanah, but it was great to see the little boy at school. TTYS.
Uh oh, I had better order more lox for Marty for break the fast.
What a day, I was so busy flicking channels with watching UCF play along with Tiger but we really enjoyed the game. It was amazing and the stadium is gorgeous. Jason was so excited to be there.
Anyway, Granada must be amazing and hope you saw the Alhambra and took pics.
Our weather finally changed and it is gorgeous here. My Cordoba connection told me it did get a little cooler there so hope that is the case. Enough of the sweating.
