Hey Asterault. If you do't mind, could I email you privately? I am interested in art restauration and you are the first person I have "met" that is actually doing it! I just have a few questions...

I work and live in Boulder and Denver consulting for a coffee company. I moved here to go to the Naropa institute (Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poets) about five years ago and fell in love with the mountains. I love to wander and consider my first upcoming trip to Spain a pilgrimage. I'm glad to have found this kind resource prior to departure. :p

Hi everybody, I don´t use to write in this great BBS, but sometimes it is good time to remind that I am still alive. I am Rafael Corrales, a Madrid lover and born in Madrid.
I am finishing my studies as Computing Systems Administrator and I work since two years in a nice company called Instrumentación y Componentes as computer technic. I invite everybody to Madrid, this city is always special, but maybe there are too much "work in men", Madrid looks like a groullere cheese ;-)

I moved from Minnesota in 1994 to teach HS Spanish...after our little one entered our life, I changed careers for financial reasons (so mom could stay home!)...and have been left to dream about the next trip to Spain (and how I'm going to swing the vacation time) as my secondary vocation. Incidentally, that next trip will be a 15-day affair in April 2002 which will include a 500 mile bike trek along the Camino francés from Valcarlos (in between St.Jean pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles...home of our family) to Compostela. I'll be making the pilgrimage for a myriad of reasons, and look forward to boring...er...sharing the details with you then!

We are active members in the Chino Basque Club, where my wife is a member of the Gauden Bat dance group. My suegra's side of the family is 100% Basco, which is A-OK with me! Anyone in the SoCal area who would like to visit for the club's monthly luncheons and periodic festivals, drop me an e-mail!

I look to re-enter the teaching world eventually, but until they pay teachers what they are truly worth to the community, (and hopefully do away with those unions that reward mediocrity with tenure), I'm 'stuck' earning on behalf of my family in an alternate career .

WOW! What diversity on this board
I am a stay-at-home Mom with TWO boys (3-years old and 7 months, Daniel and Julien) My husband Roberto was born and raised in Madrid, where we lived for a little over a year and where I became addicted to helping people try to find work in Spain teaching English...

I write travel articles about Madrid(in English) for an online travel company based in Barcelona and I also do freelance travel writing for other magazines like "Transitions Abroad." I am still hoping for a MUCH BIGGER writing opportunity to come my way though before callilng myself a "pro!"

I live very close to Philadelphia but always keep one foot on a US AIR plane heading to Spain!

*** And yeah, MM...what is it that you DO???? Don't keep us guessing!

I'm a senior undergraduate student hoping to finish college soon with degrees in English and computer science (please don't ask me how I will combine those) and hopefully find a job soon.

I fell in love with Spanish language in junior high school. A high-school trip to Madrid did it for me. Now, I am obsessed. I want to go on a tour of Spain soon and meet lots of Spanish friends.
