hi guys,
i am off to cadiz this weekend for CARNIVAL.  I donīt really know what it is,
but i think its like mardi gras/halloween.  i bought a long purple wig, a blue
boa, and those really long crazy eyelashes.  its supposed to rain the whole
time, but i think once i have a few cervezas i will be fine.  i am glad to hear
you are having a good time in amsterdam zach.  i understand the overwhelming
feeling of exploring the city by yourself, but i am sure you will do just fine.
 if you want to get out of the city for a night there is a hostel just out of
the city where you stay in tents.  its really cool, and it was a nice place to
eat some mushrooms. we didnīt explore very much, but i think there were places
to walk around there, i forget. keith...donīt you leave soon? i hope you do, i
bet you are so ready.  how has dobbs been? well i hope all is well with
everyone. i will let you know how carnival turns out.
love,
brooke
