Strike that!

I went to the train station today to figure out what time I could leave tomorrow for France. I waited for about 15 minutes before getting to the window, only to have the lady tell me I can't go to France tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next. Because the train employees are on strike! D'oh! (Side note: I said "d'oh!" in front of Shane, this English boy I met in Marbella, and he laughed and asked me if all Americans use that word. I said "yes, it's even in the dictionary!" Ha!)

So now I'm not sure what to do. But I'll keep ya posted.

Speaking of post ... Did anyone receive post cards from Thailand or India? I'm afraid they might not have made it ... But be sure I'm thinking of ya!

    do they still have buses like we see in the movies? they're usually packed with migrant workers and their personal chickens. that might make for a good blog post :).
