Nathan,
Beyond the very high quality of all the pictures you post (or most of 
them, anyway), I have to say your pictures make me extremely homesick. 
I am never more aware of the fact that I miss Spain than after reading 
your messages and viewing your photos. Keep your CL and continue 
posting!
My sincere thanks,

Juan
