I love The Valet! I saw that last year with my best friend (we’re both former French Club Presidents, and nerds); it’s funny, we both thought it was the most American French movie we’d ever seen, and we’ve seen a lot of French movies. Heh. Also, there’s another cool french movie Gad Elmaleh and the girl from Amelie (Audrey Tatou) called Priceless. I took my boyfriend to see this (which was essentially tricking him into seeing a French rom-com, but we both enjoyed it (to his surprise.)

@Kirsten: I did see a lot of street vendors selling hot dogs, but society has conditioned me to reject them. (“Eww, hot dogs?”) But I like hot dogs, so I’ll have to try to get one when we go to France again.

@Fabiola and Andrea: Aw sheesh. We stopped in the Basque Country because it’s between Paris and Madrid and because there was an Esperantist there who we could stay with. We’re leaving for Madrid today, and then we’ll go to Seville and Barcelona.

@To�o: Krom Vitoria, ni iros al Madrido, Sevilo, kaj Barcelono. Mi skribos al vi. Dankon!

@Kristen: Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to catch the episode when I can.

Bonvenon al Hispanio! Kiujn lokojn vi vizitos?
Ne zorgu pri la komento pri Vaskio: ja ekzistas tiu freneza terorista grupo, sed estas nun tre malmultaj atencoj, kaj do vi ne estos malsekura. Krome, kvankam la vaska (eŭska) estas parolata, ĉiu komprenas la hispanan kaj multaj la anglan. Ĉu vi vizitos Bilbao-n? Estas bona Esperanto-grupo tie.
En Barcelono vi trovos multajn esperantistojn. Se vi venas en Madridon, diru, kaj kelkaj el ni, povas renkonti vin. Vi povas skribi al mia adreso tonyodelbarrio (x) teleline.es
Bonan vojaĝon!

Holy crap Basque Country? Be careful when you’re there, the ETA is famous for blowing shit up. They’re a Basque separatist terrorist group. Btw, Basque is completely unrelated to Spanish/Latin languages so you prob. won’t have any idea what they’re saying.

Personally, I can tell you that the nicest places in Spain are A Coruna, Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia, Barcelona, and la Costa del Sol, which is the southern coast of Spain on the Mediterranean. I went to Spain back in 2003 and did a three month road trip. O_O

TIP: Eat at this Spaniard chain restaurant called Ca�as y Tapas. It’s amazing.

I pretty much lived on crepes and Nutella when I was in Paris, not only because they’re delicious but also cheap and eating from street vendors beats 3 hrs in a cafe to get lunch. If you get a chance before you leave, try the hot dog – they shove it down a baguette and put cheese in there.

Your picture from the 3e level at the Eiffel Tower is great. I didn’t get to go all the way up because it was closed due to wind. Also, you really aren’t missing much from the Louvre. I was there for 2 hour trying to find the Mona Lisa and then trying to find my way out.

Eagerly waiting to hear how you like Spain, because I’ve never been there!
