    @peregrina2000, I am envious of you and many others who speak fluent Spanish and can enjoy chatting with the locals. At breakfast this morning I asked if they made "huevos" as they often don't. The man said "si, fritos" and went in the back and...

    So why are people not carrying what they may need, physically unprepared and finding themselves bedless? You don’t need to look much further than the majority of threads on this forum, where the advice is all about how many grams each item in...
