picture time!!

Sunday seems like the right time to do a whole lot of nothing. This morning I got up and went for a run, and then it looked so great out that I went back out after showering to take some pictures. Then I put a whole bunch of pictures up on Facebook! (I would really like to be out at the Kilometroak but Josh isn't answering his phone and I don't want to go alone.)

I think you're all on Facebook but for the sake of convenience I'll just put the links here.

I added some pictures of the zoo to my Toronto album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=46614&id=510868602&l=5d9f288dfa

And then I made an album of pictures from travelling to Barcelona and then from here in San Sebastian: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=107904&id=510868602&l=9baaffa3e4

A couple other notes:

1) boo hoo hoo, Madrid didn't get the 2016 Olympics. Be sad, Spaniards, I was rooting for Rio.

2) I noticed even before I arrived that "la crisis" was a pretty big topic here, more so than in Canada I think. Indeed, one of the headline stories this week was that Spain was predicted to be the last of the "big" European countries to recover from the economic crisis. Accordingly, almost every commercial has a little thing tacked on the end reminding the audience what a great value their product is, and maybe a sticker that says "Precio ahorro". One that sticks in my head is Pantene's slogan: "Un pelo de lujo... a un precio que puedo." I know most products need to be seen as worth the money, but it's like overkill here.

Hope you all enjoy your Sundays. :)
