Valencia, Spain with the Germans

For those of you who don't know, this is Matthias Fuhrmann, a good old friend from the Mountain View High School days. Tyler hadn't seen Matthias for over ten years, and he still is a great friend. Matthias recognized Tyler on the street, evidently Tyler hasn't changed a bit. This weekend trip was one of the Germans three 'literature book club' trips for the year, and this one landed in Valencia, Spain.

One of the questions that came up in a conversation about these vendors on the streets, 'Do they need a permit for that?' At one point in the evening, we heard a bunch comotion coming from down the alley, and literally less than five seconds all vendors had gathered their items and were walking away. That answered that question, cool that they work together, and look out for eachother. This lady here had a two year old daughter, where is she, ohh, just wandering around freely. She wanders up and down the street interacting with the other vendors, it was obvious they all knew her. Dang cute little girl, sorry there's no picture.

The crew doing what they did best that weekend, not a whole lot of discussions about literature, but we made up for it with beer drinking.
