So as everyone else seems to be saying, Why change a good thing?<br /><br />The only thing you could do different is maybe respond more in the comment section to your commenters, but then that is just a thought.<br /><br />As for gabanzos..in Mexico they cook them in the pods and serve them up in open air markets in little paper cones, sometimes with chili pepper, salt and lime on them.

I check often (actually I'm the sole blip on your little map thingy located in Asia- Korea to be precise!) and especially love your pilgrims tales.

Physical things are not so necessary, but I'd like to know what you think about big-picture stuff. And a diatribe every once in a while I think would really be fun.<br /><br />Again, though, these are my personal tastes, and sometimes I will push for more up until the breaking point. I'm not offended if you ignore me.JMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374530528745577289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-10470239714700065612009-08-06T02:00:06.777+02:002009-08-06T02:00:06.777+02:00I like reading about how life is for an expat in r...I like reading about how life is for an expat in rural Spain, how you integrate with village life, stories of the pilgrims you host and the caminos you walk.

I don't even know you, except through this blog, and I check regularly for new posts, no matter the topic. <br /><br />You invite us to think about life - about life in a small village in Spain - about the Camino, and you make me reflect on my own life. You write so well that it is a delight to read, whatever the topic. Don't change anything!<br /><br />Glad to hear that Paddy is feeling better...I have missed his blog lately.
