monday thoughts and funfacts

-It's really quite amazing that, in Spain, the country is in a state where 20% of the overall working adult population is unemployed and 40% of youth are unemployed, yet the country is still functioning relatively peacefully and democratically. Testament to the strength of social structures, family networks, social support systems?
-Lady Gaga wrote the song "Alejandro" in Ibiza district of Madrid (right near my house!)
-Living in Madrid near the Retiro park has reaffirmed and strengthened my belief that everyone needs access to nature, open spaces to watch flowers bloom, grass die, trees grow and birds sing!
-After Japan, Spain is the country with the longest life expectancy!
