Off To Holland & Other Tidbits

Going to Holland for Semana Santa so little to no posting until the first part of April.  It should be a good time. More than anything, I'm looking forward to cutting some cheese at the famous Alkmaar market and tasting some good beer at the national museum.

For anyone looking for some spring reading, "From Barcelona Vol. 1" is now on its second printing and available for Kindle and other e-readers. Tell all of your friends to buy a copy and don't forget Sant Jordi is coming up. In honor of this moment, I've posted one of the more popular stories below to give those who haven't read it an idea of what to expect.

Finally, the big news locally over this weekend was French authorities mistaking vacationing Catalan firefighters as ETA members. I really wish it'd been another nationality as I'm sure there will be some new conspiracies out there in the blogosphere. Then again, it could be worse. I could still be living in the states where a rare moment of bipartisanship has seen the introduction of the Enemy Belligerent Act of 2010.

Have a safe, happy and dry Easter week!
