I’m fine. Still not brilliant. Still not completely awful.
Yada yada yada. That’s all I’ll say about my mood.
Oh, except one more thing…
Am I ever grateful to San Geraldo for being my lifeguard (socorrista, in Spanish).
Speaking of lifeguards, I find the cultural differences between those in New York and those here in Fuengirola to be fascinating.
So, here are some Brighton Beach/Coney Island lifeguards and Fuengirola socorristas… for totally academic cultural-anthropological comparison, of course.
