1) First week sick with a virus – visit to clinic – antibiotics, pain meds.<\/p>\n
2) Second week it’s Levante, which means the winds are from the east and cause the sand on the beach to pelt you with what feels like tiny pieces of glass; it is so hot you can’t move and there is no a\/c; and there is a pressure system that makes you feel like you are carrying around a ball and chain.<\/p>\n
3) My remedy for these issues – read: Post Traumatic Slave Disorder, The Unusual Career of Jim Crow, La Verdad Sobre el Causo de Harry Quebert, the Middlesteins, Number Nine Dream<\/em> – the last two were my least favorite.<\/p>\n 4) Observations: Spaniards have no physical boundaries and are not too good with lines.

Our group of friends in Zahara de los Atunes has expanded to a pretty large group – we no longer fit in the same house so we had to have two separate parties.<\/p>\n 5) Fifteen days went by like one long exhalation.<\/p>\n 6) Re-entry was spoiled by a computer virus.
