I wrote this late last night on the plane ride home from one of the most profound weekends of my life. My head and heart were still buzzing. Both from the experiences, and from eating a few too many Triskys and Choco-Palomitas—corn-snacks which I had discovered in the bus station in Málaga. Triskys and Choco-Palomitas are vegan, gluten free, and delicious, but not in the least bit healthy.

My weekend started with a 400-person demonstration in the streets of Madrid for International Animal Rights Day: http://vimeo.com/55311006

And ended with a trip to see Alhambra in Granada: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

And the moments in between were even better.

Spain has officially captured my heart.

Photos and a description of International Animal Rights Day to come.

Love,
