Day Thirty-Two: Skyping with a New Zealander

Tomorrow will be the end of a 9 day run of NO. DAYS. OFF. I know other people have it worse, but, that doesn't stop me from complaining. Still. I just have to make it through tomorrow.

Right now I am skyping with a friend I met in Cádiz. A friend who is impossible to understand in person much less on the phone. Impossible you say? Impossible. He is from New Zealand and their particular brand of English is like our English only chopped up, spun through Ireland and England and Wales, dropped back through the south, and left, finally to rest on a beach in the middle of the ocean. That is to say, it is lovely to hear as long as I'm not expected to respond with anything more than "Uh-huh, yeah, totally."
