Ceci n’est pa un blogpost. The blog continues suspended for the moment. I have just completed my language exam for Spanish citizenship, so that’s freed up some time: no more exam study.

Rubí Donkey writes her Rubí Tuesday blog. Here at El Parral we like to think of ourselves as being at the cutting edge.

It was the kind of personal sacrifice for … More Low-speed Internet arrives at El Parral
