So we hopefully got everything packed that we will need in Spain. We drove around and did some errands. It is probably going to end up being a problem to get the internet setup in Spain. I am kind of worried about that. I tried to call a couple of the internet companies with Skype but they Skype doesn´t let you call many of the business area code numbers in Spain (can´t call 900,901, or 902 numbers). Anyway, we will be up late tonight packing after we get home from a dinner with a bunch of friends at the fabrica de pizza.
