Cork forest, Jef & Pat's visit, and my new haircut

Last Friday I went on a field trip to a cork forest in Palafrugell with my Mediterranean environment class. A forest engineer led us through the area, translating the Catalan of an old man named Jaume who harvests 40 hectares of cork every year. By hand. Jaume has a dog named Moscatell, which is kind of funny because Moscatell is a sweet wine in Catalunya. Anyway, Jaume and Moscatell were a real pair. There's so much more to say, but I have to leave to catch my flight to Paris in an hour, so...


We had to walk over these crazy aqueduct bridges a few times.

Yesterday I got a new hairdo. I didn't do it myself. Fabio did it, and now we're BFFs. No big deal.


Sassy.


Alright, gotta jet to gay Paris avec le petit ami, Justin. Meeting Aisling and Steev in Amsterdam on Thursday. Everything is going to be amazing.
