One of the main streets is filled with 20-ft-tall yuccas. Gorgeous plantings! I mentioned in a comment above that San Geraldo usually feels no draw to the sweets now. But we were both so hungry at that point. He did hold off for a healthy salad. Such a saint. (Dale was right about a lot of things... and NOT about a lot of others. Very entertaining.)Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-61449370172793800412014-05-28T12:42:49.463+02:002014-05-28T12:42:49.463+02:00Tynan:

Nothing wrong with it, but I'm a great admirer of European countries, so I'd love to share more of Spain with my kids. <br />Glad your experience is going well! <br />(p.s.
