Delays

Seriously, this not having internet thing is a real pain. It should be coming shortly. The annoying thing is that we have the router all set up, blinking patiently in our living room, but it´s up to someone at Telefonica (phone company) to flip a switch to give us the internets, so you know that means a huge delay. Anyway, I´ve written an update, but it´s on my laptop, which I can´t use because I can´t find a Wi-Fi (say wee-fee) connection right now. GRRR. I´ll post that real update soon.

In the meantime, I´ll just say that the Spanish proved to me they could get it together by making it very easy for me to get my lost umbrella back. Like an idiot, I left it on the metro two days after buying it (I upgraded to a more expensive one because my cheap one broke soooo hard). All I had to do was make a quick call and take a 5 minute metro trip to pick it up at their lost and found! I was amazed at how easy it was. They did grill the crap out of me, though, asking me what the brand/color/pattern/size were, as well as making me produce my passport, but at least I got it back. That´s one efficiency point for Spain.
