Appendix: cont. from Worlds Worst Discovery and all other Unlucky Luckiness.

We arrived in Barcelona safe and sound. We hopped in a cab to go to the monkeys recidencia (the monkeys = Gef, Julia, and Amy) We arrived at the Parelel 101 in the Melon District only to realize that A. we didn't have their numbers because this day in age skype is god and phonebooks are overrated. B. we needed a key card to get into the actual building. C. we needed to know their room numbers so the guard could let us in. D. we both kind of remember spanish but not really, so cultural barrier wall was starting to build REAL fast. If there were a multiple choice question and a teacher asked which of the following would be important for the Gorilla and Sidekick to have before traveling to Barcelona, I would have to pencil in E. all of the above. Thank goodness someone was walking out of the building right as we were standing there. The guard did not understand a word we were saying so the Gorilla and I befriended two boys and they let us go up stairs. For thirty minutes we wandered the halls yelling Gef, Julia, Amy. Gef, Julia, Amy. We walked into a kitchen and the Gorilla recognized a friend of Amy's and we finally made it to our friends. Being the smart Gorilla and Sidekick we decided that there was no way they would live on the first floor (our reasoning..I am not sure) but after going around 6 floors, the first floor was where they were at.

Allison,
I just read all your postings from 1-30-08 to the present. Great times. Life in the suburbs goes on. David got a nice role in the spring play. His spring fling if you will.
Will I ever get to me the gorilla?
Love
Uncle Tee Tee
