I have an upcoming online class with an Argentinian living in Madrid. Should I even broach the subject of the game?
Later: I did broach the topic. It turned out that she has spent half her life in Spain and half in Argentina. Her husband is Spanish. Her children are born in Spain. So, her loyalty was split. Turned out as well that talking to her about her product was more interesting than taking about the game anyway. She sold premium yogurt to retailers like Carrefour and Costco and Walmart in and around Spain.

Crow’s Nest
We went for a Sunday evening drive. We took Victoria Avenue to Kemnay and then the #1 back to Brandon. We drove through the Grand Valley and saw the flooding. Back in Brandon, we went to the Riverbank Discovery Centre where I took this video:
Then we drove to the Crow’s Nest. I had heard of the place but had never been. It’s at the end of Rosser Avenue East. It is an antique style store.
And it has a nice park in which to walk & explore:
Better late than never that I discovered this place. I’ll return to it.
