But we love the experience. And our Spanish is getting better.
So, I probably will not be blogging before Sunday. But please check back, because I have lots to share:
A review of Richard Hughes' story collection, Only the Lonely. (And my apologies, Richard, for putting your last name as Hansen in my last post when I passed out the Lucky 7 Meme. I have another friend named Hansen, and that just leaps out every time. I've made the correction in the post. And anyone reading this today, go check out his cool blog here. . . .)
A review of a book by Lewis Buzbee (title withheld to keep you wondering.)
A sprinkle of posts about Galicia.

Have fun in Spain. I loved it when we were there. Fortunatly my hubby spoke pretty good spanish.
Will read your posts on Spain with interest. Fingers crossed we may travel there for the first time later in the fall. Enjoy :-)
*Sigh* Can you take me with you?
Just kidding (not really).
Have fun! :)
Love your posts from Spain.
Hi,
It's Annie (previously) from the Sunday morning writing group.
I'm well acquainted with Buzbee's wife, Julie Bruck, so I'm looking forward to your review. Actually, Julie has a new book of poetry out as well.
Enjoy Spain! It's one of the few countries still on my to-do list. Such beauty!
Have a fabulous time, Mitty! I'll be looking forward to traveling vicariously with you.
Yay, off again, and this time not so far from me. I bet that is a good place to write! Have a most wonderful month!
Hi, S.P, thanks for stopping by. It's good that your husband knows Spanish. We are getting there at tortoise speed.
Linda, Joanna, and Rosi, thanks for the good wishes.
Kenda, we will be going again in the fall. Keep me posted about your dates and where in Spain.
Richard, thanks for the encouragement you always give me about those posts. Your support has made me take a look at maybe doing some travel writing.
Annie, small world! I love Buzbee's books and knew his wife was a poet. I will look for her new book, as I also love poetry.
A month in Spain? Oh how wonderful! I should imagine your Spanish will come on in leaps and bounds, and that pocket dictionary will stay snugly tucked away. Enjoy, relax, and have a wonderful time. :)
Have a wonderful trip! I absolutely love Spain, so much so, I've been there six times ;)
Hope you improve your Spanish :D
Jayne and Claudia, thanks for the good wishes. I am so ready for this vacation!
Actually our Spanish is probably better than I've made it sound. We really are progressing. It's just that every time we start feeling, hey, we're on our way with Spanish, someone will say something, and we don't have a clue! :-)
Ah well, "poco a poco" as they say. ("little by little")
Hope you have a lovely trip and that you get some work done while you're in Spain.
Oh, enjoy your trip!! That sounds like a marvelous opportunity. I think Spain would be a great place to visit or go on vacation to. :)
Joy and Carol, Thanks for the good wishes. The part of Spain we go to is Galicia, in the northwest corner; except for some small cities and the famous pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela, it's mostly rural with tiny hilltop villages and lots of misty valleys. Very peaceful, and a great place to do work, so yes, I will be working on my book--as well as enjoying week-end fiestas and socializing with friends.
