Gary, >> You have given me a vicarious experience of what "life on the outside" is like. <g> Gracias! << You're welcome – my intent is to entertain. It was an incredible trip. I didn't meet Ana, although I contacted her. She was back in Florida already. She did give me some advice on what to eat <g>. Barcelona was a very pleasant surprise, I'd been there in 1980 for about 2-4 hours between trains (heading for Marrakesh, ultimately) and really hadn't even scratched the surface of how impressive the city was. Things have changed a lot since then, I believe, because of the general liberalization of things following General Franco's death and also a clean-up for the '92 Olympics. Do visit if you get a chance, and if you get tired of the city there's always easy access to more tranquil mainland areas and islands. It's good to be back, I do have a new appreciation for where I live and what good value America is – Europe ain't cheap anymore with today's dollar exchange rates. I've got a lot of catching up to do too, software wise. Anything dramatic happen while I was away? ciao! Martin
