I came across what I thought was an innovative campaign against smoking today (Lesbians Against Smoking!) but then I found out that it was really a pro-smoking ad. I think I can be forgiven the confusion seeing as the text said "You can't quit until you've begun."

Everyone and their mother smokes here, and I have yet to find a building with a no smoking sign posted anywhere. This is a non-endearing characteristic of the Spaniards, but their clothing prices more than make up for it. I have been duly shocked at how cheap it is to dress very well.

Also duly shocking are older women who have hair dyed weird colors. I'm not used to forty year olds with green hair! Or having whole blocks of aged women in revealing, tight, short clothing. I guess you aren't required to "grow up" fashion-wise here until later.

I had churros and chocolate for breakfast, and I had really forgotten how artery-clogging they are.
