Speak roughly to your little boy/
And beat him if he sneezes;/
He only does it to annoy/
Because he knows it teases.

It'll be interesting to see what you make of Madrid, on four
business trips there I saw no reason to go back as a tourist.

(But there was a very good Mexican restaurant just off the
main square).

Do you remember the restaurant's name? One thing that struck me about
Madrid
was that their attempts at Mexican food were downright pathetic. It seemed
as if though no Mexican with any sort of culinary ability had ever set
foot
in the Spanish capital.

Having never eaten Mexican food in Mexico, I cant vouch for the authenticity
of the food, but the restaurant was great fun. (Especially the shots from
the holster).

Paris chic:
The idea of the parisienne chic is something of a cliché, but when I
first visited Paris it appeared to me that it had some basis in fact:
the city seemed to have more than its fair share of well-groomed,
well-dressed women. It no longer appears so.

You should visit Milan, maybe Milan is the new Paris.

Perhaps if I wanted to seek out such women. But I prefer informality.

I think there was a MacDonalds in Madrid :-)

In fact why not just emigrate to the USA ?



And then home to contemplate our next trip (Madrid).

We don't go until late October; I hope that you can bear the wait.


I shall wait with baited breath, to see if I can be persuaded to return at
my personal cost.

(But there was a very good Mexican restaurant just off the main square).

You mean food with loads of chillis, burn-your-mouth-off stuff? Nah.
I'll settle for Spanish.


Nah - it wasn't too hot.
But I usually prefer to eat local when travelling.

God preserve us from cultural excesses such as those which you describe.

You really should try some Mexican food. If you cannot manage Mexico I
can make some suggestions in Houston.
