Report from Tossa

Mom is in Tossa de Mar at the moment. She says that all she hears there is the ChikiChiki.

Be Prepared.

UPDATE: John Chappel of Iberian Notes reports that "The Chiki-Chiki guy bombed at Eurovision and came in 16th. Bummer."

Nice to have Iberian Notes to keep up with the haps in Barcelona.

Nicer too, to have Euro kitch taken down a notch or two.

Here's another interesting item further down into John's post:

The Prado has a very cool exhibition opening soon and running through September: the subject is Renaissance portraits, 70 of them, by Durer, Leonardo, Raphael, Titian, Van Eyck, and Botticelli, among others. El Pais has a slideshow that you should check out. I'm going; it'll give me an excuse to take a weekend trip to Madrid.
