Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety two. And there is the extensive knowledge I leave you about Spain/Portugal. Oh yeah, the Chrysler guy called me this past friday morning to tell me he had the V.I.P. tickets for Dave Mathews, but since I was in VT. when he called I was unable to go. I guess the show was good, but the aftermath was kind of a bummer. fighting and 25 or more arrests. Police used rubber bullets and one kid lost sight in one eye being hit by one of them. Big news in VT. is the phinal Phish show. The state is bracing phor the phun event. Have phun, peace and love, Uncle Edwin

Hey, Ben! I know you're not much on museums but it sounds like the Picasso one is pretty special in Barcelona.
MUSEU PICASSO (Picasso Museum):
This museum contains the most important collection of paintings, drawings and sketches from the early years of Pablo Picasso, especially those between 1895 and 1904. His works from 1917, the year he collaborated with the Russian Ballets of Diaghilev, and the series Las Meninas, inspired by Velázquez's painting, are exceptional.
C. Montcada, 15-19. Metro: Line 4 (jaume I).
Open: Tuesday to Saturday and holidays from 10am. to 8pm. and Sundays from 10am. to 3pm.
Telephone: 93 3196310
Stay in touch, ben....and enjoy the experiences!
Love you,
Laurie

Hey Kid, sounded like you were bumming at first, but I see you worked it out. Hang in there!!
The Mom
Benjamin!! Was so nice to hear your voice tonight. (By the way - don't worry about the extra gray hairs - Megan pulled them out for me!) I thought of so many questions - after you hung up!! I look forward to reading of your recent adventures. I mentioned to my boss tonight that you are going next to Portugal . . . he was born there and has family there . . . he said "we should talk tomorrow." We'll see what that might mean! Love you.
Laurie
Ben - finally! I thought you were captive in a mountain pass! Time to move the little red dot on the map here. And we'll look forward to the next long posting....Scott & Barb return to the Land of Reality Tuesday night. Young Jeffrey is growing teeth and saying "Mommy" - isn't he advanced?
Did Nate at work find the right lyrics from OAR for you? Love, Laurie
