Things That Make It Worthwhile

Baguettes, when they're warm and so crunchy that you're afraid that the roof of your mouth is going to start bleeding.

iPedro.

Having a conversation with good friend Alberto or some other Spaniard and actually proving that I can be intelligent, well-read, even funny in a language that is not my own.

Caller ID and knowledge of the telephone number at work.

The notes that Travis left me around my house, hidden in the weirdest places.

Dehydrated strawberries.
