No Way San Jose

today i'd planned a cultural day of museum and art gallery visiting. i made a list of addresses of the various free galleries around town and went to pick jerry up from his spanish class. by the time we arrived in the old town of marbella, the galleries were all closed for siesta.

it's not the first time our entire day's plans have been ruined by this spanish tradition. jerry condemns the siesta as downright laziness and idiotic business policy, but i think there's something nice about it...

the spanish enjoy life. they work to live, they don't live to work. and if they're still closing up shop for 3 hours every afternoon for a nap, during tourist low-season, in the middle of an economic crisis, then they mustn't be doing too badly. im glad they havn't given up that custom and joined the rat race...

we can visit galleries and be cultural another day. instead we go home and watch tv.... michael moore's documentaries are awesome! and that reminds me- today i found out that we got a time slot for 'No Way San Jose' (our documentary). and its prime time- yay!!!
for you aussies, the first episode's gonna air on ABC2 on wednesday, december 9th at 8pm (for 6 weeks)...please WATCH IT!!!! so much blood, sweat and tears went into making it.... and its really good, even if i do say so myself...
