I think it would be great to be able to converse in English with other people once in awhile.<BR/>And not only does your blog make me hungry when you talk of food, I now feel guilty about all the walks you are taking with Chuck. You must be very fit. And Chuck must be in Heaven with his new home and mistress. All that loving - all those walks.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-61877885618544098852007-02-25T14:42:00.000-08:002007-02-25T14:42:00.000-08:00In PL ONLY red squirrels.

Extremely cute and charming, generally small - and very lively - they create a highway in the fall from somewhere - to our walnut tree - and back again - with spectacular leaps and feats of almost flight - but still - sometimes I miss those big fat grey ones :-)Joanne Vive la Frhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671725286641869893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-75863309040050256642007-02-25T13:33:00.000-08:002007-02-25T13:33:00.000-08:00Kate: They sell chipmunks in those pet stands on ...Kate: They sell chipmunks in those pet stands on Las Ramblas, tons in the cage, it is very awful, although there is a strong movement afoot to ban the animal sellers there..based on, well, cruelty. Apparently the tourists are complaining, among others...<BR/><BR/>The squirrel was very cute. Much more like the elusive red squirrels we get in Canada than the fat and aggressive grey or black. He was slim and fast with the biggest bushiest tail.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-73007614674525886112007-02-25T13:14:00.000-08:002007-02-25T13:14:00.000-08:00Actually I would be very excited to see a squirrel...Actually I would be very excited to see a squirrel here. I think I saw one once in a tree in La Granja (palace grounds near Segovia) but not a one in Madrid, even in the big parks. I do sometimes see chipmunks in the pet store near us, which is pretty horrifying...katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975826433125245969noreply@blogger.com
