first of all, i can't sleep so i write this while on the pot (not too successful in that regard either- 4 days here with nary a good bm).

i thought i would share some thoughts....
1. all the women here are hot. i have yet to see a fugly one.
2. there are no obese people here which is probably due to an absence of golden corralls
3. practically no hondas here. some toyota but not much more. i did see a civic diesel yesterday
4. contrary to advice i got, people here DO wear shorts
5. people here do not wear white clothes and shoes
6. the hookers on the street are not spanish. they sound eastern european
7. there are NO pepboys here
8. i have not seen a car repair shop or even a car dealership at all. maybe when we start driving around in the rental we pick up tomorrow
9. bread and beer are cheap here but eating out in a formal restaurant is not
10. you have to pay to get in to museums
11. people here stay up late
12. i paid 7 euro for a undercooked and inedible hamburger. i think they like their meat rare here
13. not much car traffic here
14. watching the african vendors pack up and go when the police come is funny
15. hot women are all over this place
