Unplugged: adapting and adapters

We made it through France and are now comfortably nestled into our eighth-floor apartment in Barcelona. We just got done drinking some local beer and eating some sandwiches on the apartment's rooftop terrace.

We haven't posted anything until now because of some mix-ups with electrical adapters. Apparently, I did not research things enough before trying to plug my computer into the wall.

Everything is working now, and I am typing from our apartment.

Numerous blog entries will follow soon: one for each city we visited in France and one for our general impression of France and the French. Here's a brief teaser: they actually do love french fries, but they just call them fries, or frites. Also, they serve things called americain [sic] sandwiches, which are basically any sandwich with fries on the sandwich. Stupid French.

Sorry about the gap in the writing, but we are safe. Please stay tuned.
