Um ...

 

The past few days have been a little strange. Actually they´ve been very

familiar, but strangely so. When I wrote you last I was in the lovely

little French town of Perpignan, on my way North, maybe to Paris or on to

Germany. Today I write you from Montenegro, Spain, where I have just spent

the night sleeping in a firetruck. Why was I sleeping in a firetruck, you

ask? Because the treehouse was full.

 

While writing the previous paragraph I have decided not to give any more

details. Okay, except the following:

 

1) Hitchhiking from the centre of a lovely little French town can be

difficult. Better to take the train.

 

2) A Jeep Cherokee, though more comfortable for sleeping in than a Nissan

Micra, still offers approximately the same meager comfort level as a Dodge

Neon.

 

3) Brie and fig jam on pieces of a fresh, hot baguette.

 

I have fallen in love with another book and I am very strenuously

recommending it to you. HHHHRRRRRR!!! The book is called 'Everything is

Illuminated' by Jonathan Saffran Foer. I have been laughing and crying with

great pleasure and sadness, not always respectively, and not always because

of the places I have been sleeping.

 

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your ability to find good Thai food

near your house,

jay

 

p.s., coming soon(?): Barcelona (again and again)? France (again)? Italy?

Greece? Turkey?
