Re: Spain PDML (was LONDON PDML 2005 more pics up)

Jaume,
I have always thought about taking a trip to Spain.  With my last name 
(Matamoros) there is no denying my Spanish heritage.

You struck a cord when you mentioned paella.  There used to be a 
restaurant in Manhattan (NYC) called La Paella that was excellent for 
that dish.  We used to go there regularly, but infrequently, while I was 
growing up.
I went to where it used to be the last time I was in NYC, alas, it is 
gone.  I was with my sister and she too was disappointed...

It looks like I will have to plan a Spanish trip in the near future,

Yes, Frank, be prepared for never-ending siestas,
dancing Flamenco, going to bullfights every weekend,
eating paella, drinking sangria an so on...
;-)
Actually, Spain is a very (sometimes too) diverse
country, where you can find places where some of those
topics may have some sense (not much anyway) but most
of the time you'll find it as often as people wearing
pile shoes in the Netherlands.
So, do you already know where exactly will your mother
stay here? I'll be glad to show you Barcelona if you
stop by, although I am prone to be in my hometown (180
Km. away) in those days (Christmas)...
I fell a little envy towards those PDML meetings (like
the recent London one with some great pictures by the
way). Maybe it could be a good opportunity to meet the
previous owners of the majority of my current
equipment ;-)
(BTW I exchange e-mails from time to time with Carlos
but we don't know each other personally...).
Regards from Barcelona,
Jaume

Carlos,
What part of Spain are you in?  I'll have to find
out exactly where my
mother's going to be staying.
Has there been a PDML-Spain gathering yet?  Anyone
else for Christmas in Spain?

cheers,
