Once again it's all about the neurochemistry.

BTW most of the nerves that signal the brain to release oxytocin in response to touch are on the front of the body.

Dilbert

Notice there's a fast and a default slow daily Dilbert page.

If ever a country needed a new beginning at New Year's, it's Espana.

From the article, "The moon is bright and the pops of crackers are loud".

In many countries on New Year's, that pop is 7.62 caliber.

In many countries on New Year's, that pop is 7.62 caliber. Includinf the USA. The Detroit Mayor asked people not to fire their guns.
Here in Southamerica a common new for today is someone killed by one bullet falling from the sky.

Compadre, a great many people have considered places like Detroit another country for some time.

Now that the Lefties have gutted it, we may retake it.

Shows what a bad way Dilbert's in that he says no to a hug. Never say no to a hug!

Are ipanema's any good? Girl of Ipanema would be like Girl from the OC or from the Hamptons. Ipanema is a beach and a place of residence for high middle, high class
Ipanema is portuguese meaning river without fish. Empanada , spanish for a little "pie" made of corn, maice,flour fried with meat, or cheese and potatoes or pork or even shark meat inside.

Nina, Great post and photos. Happy New Year. The best education is travel. But I'm sure I'm "preachin' to the choir" on that point.

Back in the '80s we used to get guava empañadas and espresso at a little Cuban pizza shop in our corner of South Miami... ¡Me gusta!

Reminds me of an old joke about how fish got their smell. I'll leave it at that.
