Guapetona,

The Zara in New Jersey is in Willowbrook Mall in Wayne... identical to the ones in Spain, down to the same tags on the clothes, but very expensive compared to what you would pay in Spain.

Yes I live in NJ... although I wish I were somewhere more exotic especially now with 15 inches of snow on the ground!

Majesty, I know what you mean. I live in Warren County and we had a LOT of snow here. Last year was the first year that I saw real snow (in Madrid we don't get that much) and my first thought was : I HATE IT!!!!
This year is different, I guess is because I had the experience of the last year and I bought nice warm clothes!

Just back from Madrid, and the ONLY thing that customs asked us about was jamon or chorizo, they didn't seem too interested in anything else...

They never ask me anything at customs, but this year, at Atlanta, when we went down the escalator to claim baggage, there was a policeguy and a DOG, who dutifully sniffed each passanger, for drugs? for CHORIZO??? dog would have LOVED some of that! good thing i wasn't 'bringing.' Now, a young man went over to pet the dog, and the police shakes his head, NO. The guy asks why, police shakes NO. Police indicates that the guy should move on: guy doesn't, and sez to the cop, go ahead, hit me!! At which point the cop hauled him off (backup was right there) and probably arrested him. I bet the guy was drunk from all the free booze on the flight. Yes, MM, this DOES have to do with the thread, in an obtruse way....

I returned from Spain via Philadelphia. My luggage was filled with sherry and liquour de huerbas. I had a hand-carry filled with a kilo of jamon de serrano, walnut cookies, empanadas with tuna and queso de bola. I wrapped throughly well the jamon de serrano and empanadas with tuna and queso de bola. Yes, police dogs were waiting at the custom entrance. No questions ask and exited without difficulty.

mclarke, you are amazing!! was it the kind of jamon that was sealed, or was it the kind you technically aren't supposed to bring in (that is, the GOOD kind!!). Yummm on the empanada, too. Wonder why the trained dog didn't find your stash. Probably it was a druggie dog!
