Paris spot check

Go skate a sidewalk

Mother nature wants you to skate launch ramps. Don’t ask me where it is, because it’s within a five block radius of my house.

I’m flying in on a DC 10 tonight

Spanish songs in Andalucia, sing of tight transitions in expensive private residential housing developments, designed by A-cero. Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito. Sotogrande! [Source: CoolBoom] – Thanks to Urban for the tip.
