back (and alive!)
back after two pretty scary turbulent flights and a totally awful cold had the worst timing ever. paris was great.. spain was also great, it seems.. I was mostly holed up in the hotel room or blindly following people about, trying to walk straight... what I did see was nice though! And the wedding was awesome.. think orange groves and an endlss supply of booze. Mmmmm. Gonna be hard to beat all these fun weddings we've been attending.. maybe we could really just go to barbados??
throughout the entire trip, I managed to knit exactly 6 rows of a new project. that's it! Most of the time was spent walkin or eating/drinking or sleeping. the only knitty stuff I did manage was in paris... my cousin and I made a sort of tour of many yarn shops and a cheapo notions shop. here's what i got...
the book was just too cute to pass up.. I adore the snail on the cover, as well as all the tiny outfits! I'm going need to brush up on my french, or at least find my french dictionary!
the next shot is from some random bus stop ad in spain.. anyone know spanish? I'm curious as to how "next" relates to knitting... no es cuadrado, no es redondo, es next??? (not square, not round... )??? no idea. but it was photo worthy, anyhow.
and, by the way, have europeans not heard of LUNG CANCER??? I mean, seriously, is it necessary to smoke during breakfast, for god's sake? soooo gross... ashtrays *everywhere*. *everyone* smoking.. even if I wasn't being deathly ill with a cold (much fun finding medecine in spanish, btw!) I'd find it awful! I just don't understand.
anyhow, off to lose the fiht against jetlag.. sorry for the tons of missing letters.. my computer seems to have decided to suck while I was away. keyboard isn't happy. internet explorer? won't let me see it. also, battery seems to not work at all. hmph.
