| Introduction | I am "el nefelibata" as my screen name states. In Spanish, it refers to a dreamer who has his head in the clouds. I live in Arizona and enjoy the great weather here (9 months of the year, ha ha). Summers here are brutal! I enjoy traveling to Spain almost every year. I studied Spanish at the Univeristy of Salamanca where I wrote my Master's thesis on Spanglish. |
