out of 21, before the finish line. It´s a tough race today at Gothenburg marathon,  very hot at the beginning. I heard ambulance sirens from different directions, hope it was not because of stressed hearts. Later on the sky opened and an epic thunder weather presented itself with some almost frightening hailstorm on top of it. The last runners has not finished yet as I post this photo.

The eternal photographer..

..could not even give it a rest while getting a haircut at this not so fancy hairdresser saloon in Havana.

I was anyway pleased with the result when I stepped out of the establishment at Calle 23.   January 28. 2008

Hablas Albanian?

habl alb

I met her at the central market in Berat, Albania. She spoke only a few words in English and my Albanian knowledge is not he best. I do speak Spanish though and trew out kind of a silly attempt.. –hablas Español?

And there it came… a perfect fluid Spanish with Mexican and Venezuelan accent!!!

So we chatted for a while and she explained that her only language school was the daily watching on TV at latin soap operas!
