Stanford, Spring 2007 

In Barcelona, after my semester in Salamanca, my brother and I caught a train to Pamplona to see the running of the bulls. We had been traveling alone, but in Pamplona we were to meet Antonio and Alessandro, the Sicilian and Florentino respectively, and camp out of the back of their car. At the station we found a desultory Alessandro, who informed us of his imminent departure to Firenze. As he ushered us through the streets of the city, he added, politely, that Antonio would not be coming as he was delayed in San Sebastian. Deciding to be helpful, Alé took us to the park where we would sleep, offered us half of his panini, and promptly disappeared on a train to Madrid.
