Thank you ImMan! ... so glad to get to read what so many other kinky people are up to. Barcelona is near the top of my favourites list of cities. I was there in 1969, strolling Las Ramblas and sitting on the quay by the Santa Maria.... I and my Venezuelan boyfriend were so in love there, and I have so many fantastic memoies..a club "La Cueva" with flamenco, walking back to the pension in the elegant old city and the half-lit old man with the door keys came from blocks away when you clap your hands...and he gives you a tiny wick and lights it for a tip, to see you up the dark stairs to your floor. The tiny shops in the thick wall of the old castle.... lemonade and churros!!!! Heaven! and everywhere young people who had such vivid and facile minds to converse for hours. Well, fortunately my country has changed a lot since then, but I guess you can still find most of the things you mention here (unfortunately not the old man with the door keys, something I never got to see but I would have really liked to). But we still have an elegant old city that will be pleased to receive you when you come back.

We met many heartbroken expatriots in Grenoble and other places who so longed to be back in Espania... and the police everywhere...yikes!

That's what I was thinking about. For many years he kept us apart of the rest of the world and he was the biggest responsible of one of the darkest periods in the history of Spain, and it wasn't until his last years that things started to improve a bit. But fortunately everything has changed a lot and we have become a modern country with a strong democracy.

Spain was beautiful even in the Franco days, and now it is one of my favorite countries in the world. Barcelona is one of the most delightful cities on the planet, and Madrid is close behind.

Hiya Wicked Sue! Thanks, I'm sure! Oh yes, what a nice little Davey, just pocket sized...I take him with me everywhere. Much better than a poodle. He can hit really high notes too! You should hear him sing. I set him up on the table and he sings his little heart out. Then I give him a pat on the butt and a little kiss for luck and put him back in my left breast pocket.... he really likes it there! All warm and cozy... he just snuggles right in, sort of sits on my nipple, hums himself to sleep.... he has the cutest little snores..... He's the best good luck-charm too, always gives good advice, and a great massage too! With his tiny little hands... He seems really happy. Once I thought I lost him when I checked my coat in a resturant, but it turned out he fell into an empty bottle of Remy Martin and had passed out from the fumes. He woke up for a moment on the way home and puked all over my thumbnail. Had a terrible hangover the next day too. He lay there with his head on an aspirin for hours, just moaning. After a nice shower in the sink and a little soak in an egg cup, he was all back to his bright self, and ready to rumble.
