Spain

I traveled to Spain last week,

I have no fear of flying.

Barcelona, Valencia, y Peniscola tambien.



I practiced my Spanish there,

and played upon the beaches.

In the mornings I sipped cortadas and...

discerned the children's screeches.



I learned that Sant Mateu

houses seven cloistered nuns.

They hide inside the monastery

never ~ enjoying the Spanish sun.



I spent muchos pesetas

and ate tapas con mis amigos.

I dined on gifts from the sea

and wished mi hija was conmigo.



All along the coast...

the Palmetto trees were sighing.

I took a siesta and while I slept...

the bulls of Valencia were dying.

I was only once in Spain, so

I was only once in Spain, so long ago, but I remember it like yesterday. San Sebastien, with its beautiful beach and funicular. Nowadays, I have been to "resorts" in the Dominican, learned a few words of broken resort Spanish, but I would love to go back to Spain. Well, France and Germany too, for that matter. Mucha suerte, Geneva!
