We are freshly arrived in Galicia, Spain. It's gorgeous. It's warm. The trees are photosynthesizing. And we have fast wifi. Super special thanks (I'll do this a lot) to my friend and author Gillian Andrews for letting us occupy her flat for a few weeks. It has everything we could want -- and a whole lot more.

Not surprising, we've already met someone and are about to head out for a few beers. Yes, within 5 minutes of getting out of the taxi, we'd found a kindred spirt who invited us to a birthday party. Only us, right?

It looks like Galicia has lots of great stuff to offer. But first; birthday beers. It'll give us a chance work on our Spanish with some friendly locals!
