By the way...
As a child, I lived in Spain for 3 years (1979 - 1982). My dad was stationed at Torejon, and I used to go each year to the carnivals in Arenueth.
I loved Spain... although I was too young to go Tosca hopping, checking out Plaza De Mayor was a fantastic market area.
Oh..., and I was lucky enough to go to El Mundial in 1982 just before heading back to the states.
My 2 favortite countries in Europe are Spain and the Ukraine... France though, can go rot in the lower parts of Hades somewhere.
