found out i don´t hate paris as much as i thought.  i don´t love it, don´t get me wrong, but it isn´t the horrible pit i thought it was last time. 

things good about paris:
1.  there is just something right about a country where you can pay for a bottle of wine with a single coin

things bad about paris:
1.  i´ll never understand how they possibly could have won the world cup years ago as no one can play on grass anywhere...

on the train to barcelona last night we shared our cabin with a guy from argentina.  he couldn´t speak a word of english.  i was able to have a conversation & translate for dustin and eric for a good hour.  it was fun and i was suprised about how much my spanish was able to help me out, but i now understand why andrea is so hesitant to flow her spanish.  it is EXAUSTING.  there is a weird connection between booze and forign language skills, it definately helps you flow, but once you reach a certian point, you just get too tired and the booze help turns into booze hurt.

much love
enjoy the DNC, i wish i could watch on tv
peaceout
