                More Austin Powers I think Melody! I'm not sure about the timbales as I don't know what they are! I thought I'd best have some Mexican while in San Francisco and saw a bunch of people buying something hot wrapt in foil so bought one - I think it was a burrito - a kind of pancake with a bean and cabbage concoction inside - yum!

                Thanks Greenfields - I'll have a look around for the books.

                    Hey Rob,
                
                it sounds like you are living the life fandango - "La Vida Loca." Latin jazz is very stimulating... Did they have timbales?   My vision of you in the midst of the parade is a blur... I'm not sure if to picture you as Don Corleone or Austin Powers.

                    It sounds like you're having a fantastic time! I've never been out to San Francisco, but I mean to get there sometime. As with Yosemite. Its amazing how many places in the US I've never been to--I spend so much time here in the northeast. 
  Keep posting about your travels!
