Another month in Spain ends. Just long enough that the glimpse of another culture unsettles me, leaving me wanting change. To live and work there. To think and dream and speak in another language. To rest midday and embrace a nocturnal community. I visit for a few weeks.

This has been the most amazing trip. I think it may have been our best ever. Boo Hoo! February 20, 2014. Bizarrely, for all the lying snow that we have seen this is our first snowfall since Helsinki. It was too cold for snow in both Moscow and Harbin. You can see by the uniforms that these figures depict the two opposing armies.
