Miss and won't miss lists!
Things that I WILL miss:
1. My Spanish family...the family I lived with in the Fall of 1981 and the Spring of 1982.
2. Good red wine for less than 3 Euros ($3.75) a bottle.
3. The energy in the streets.
4. Riding the Metro and walking every place (no need for a car).
5. Non-stop cultural activities.
6. Better-than-Starbucks coffee for 1 Euro ($1.25).
7. The scent of pines trees when I'm walking to Suffolk in the morning.
8. Seeing the stylish outfits displayed in the store windows.
9. The sultry voices of the Spaniards.
10. Chocolate y churros at San Gines.
11. The view from our bathroom window, overlooking the Parque de Oeste y El Museo de America.
12. Our neighbors, Mari, Felix, Javier y Cristina.

Things that I WON'T miss:
1. Dog poop on the sidewalks.
2. Cigarette smoke in restaurants.
3. McDonald's, except for Helado y Cafe.
4. Trash/litter on the streets.
5. Our tiny, life-endangering shower.
