Divertido

Funny thing happened today. Don Duende in his infine wisdom managed to wash his Spanish phrase book. Didn't check the pockets - doh! Had me in fits. Ha de ser inteligente. (He must be intelligent) He'll be back to the "Si, claro"

After I had recovered I retired to the back terrace, it's in the shade in the morning so nice and cool. One of the great things about Spanish architecture is the liberal provision of terraces. Suits me just fine as I can follow the path of the sun terrace by terrace.
