| No, I haven't forgotten about the pictures but I just haven't had the
time or the means to sort them and upload them yet. For one thing, I
only have about a third of the pictures so far. The second third is
trapped in a memory card I bought in India (100% Indian technology)
that stopped working after only two days, and I don't know if they will
ever be recovered... along with the 50 euros down the drain, but I did
learn the lesson though.
The last third of the pictures is still trapped in my
very-much-functioning other memory card, but I can't retrieve them
since they took the batteries at the Bombay airport, and I still
haven't got around to buying new ones, PLUS, of course, my laptop is
still pretty much dead.
So if that wasn't a lengthy enough list of (very true) excuses, 3 days
after I got back from India I got sick with a very nasty Indian flu,
and so I've been in bed with a fever, cough, runny nose, etc for the
last week more or less... Why all these unfortunate events? Beats me.
Tomorrow I'm leaving for Madrid for a very fun wedding on Friday with
tons of friends, and to see the family since it has been quite a while!
I'm very much looking forward to that, and also to the last bits of
proper summer I can get.
Finally, and following others' examples,
I have also decided to leave Xanga in favour of password-free comments.
I know you've all been dying to leave comments on my blog but just
couldn't be bothered to sign in and all the hassle, so that is soon
going to change. The new Maria en Viena is here.

| Back from India. It was great, really great. I need some time to sort
out the pictures and my thoughts about the trip! But here is an
advance...
| | |
| Squinting like crazy at my darkened laptop screen I somehow managed to
download, save and send myself the pictures that were trapped in my
camera. So here is how last week we hopped on a train to Budapest and
went to the Sziget Festival, and how delicious the churros looked!
Leaving for India tomorrow, can't wait for the endless queues and
security checkups in Heathrow, and the 38ºC and rain in Delhi!! :) Just
kidding, in spite of those things, I'm really looking forward to this
trip.
Enjoy the photos (the last one of the Budapest pics is my favourite), and I'll be back in two weeks with plenty to tell and show.
And now the churros:

| My laptop screen decided to die last night, so I can't download the
pictures from my camera until I get it fixed... and who knows when that
will be. So I'll just have to write and tell the stories, even though a
picture is worth a thousand words!
I was in Budapest this weekend with Nacho, at the Sziget Festival,
and saw a Radiohead concert which was great. Even though it was so
packed that I could hardly see the stage, but it was good. We were also
luckier with the weather
this time around, and even though it was a bit overcast and it even
rained for a while, it didn't snow! We managed to do some sightseeing
on the Buda side and even went to a museum to see two great exhibitions.
Yesterday was the great Spanish-Mexican-Austro-German dinner, and my farewell to Magdalena. The menu included amazingly delicious tacos, cooked by Fabi, the "taquera" mayor. A tad spicy, but just perfect. Dessert was churros and thick hot chocolate, by the master churrero
himself. Not a very orthodox summertime dessert, if you ask me, but it
was yummy anyway. Besides, the shitty weather kinda compensates for
that.
As for Magdalena, well, she's leaving for Boston next week and sadly I
will miss her farewell BBQ because I'll be on my way to India, a small
price to pay I must say :) So fare well, Mag, and keep us posted!
