This is just something small, but I finally gave up trying to stay clean going the gate. Our guard put oil on the locks a week ago and I try so hard to avoid getting slimy, to no avail. Now, I'm not much of a quitter, but this particular situation is a lost cause, so I give up! Dirt and oil, let's be friends.

I love networking! I'm trying to sort out plans for traveling in Spain later this month, but I don't know anyone in Spain. Tried a friend's aunt, but no response, and then an aunt's friend, and sure enough, plans are being made! Where couchsurfing falls short, being Dutch picks up the slack! Never made travel plans like this before!
