I think I'm just gonna put up posts called "Random" every once in a while. Cuz things happen that aren't necessarily eventful, but they're interesting to me nonetheless. Well, here we go:
Random notes:
I learned some interesting info about Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon. A judge on the criminal court, his works include persecuting former members of the Franco regime, investigating mass graves from that regime and that of the Chilean and Argentine dictatorships, putting Chilean dictator Gen. Pinochet under house arrest, and even trying to arrest officials of George W. Bush for the justification of torture. Bad ass to say the least
Now, the precedents used under his Pinochet case are considered being used to bring about charges towards the current Pope, accused of covering up child abuse. We'll see how that pans out
On a much lighter note - fave street performers for the day: The Beatles "Yesterday" by keyboardist/violinist duo, and ABBA's "Chiquitita " by a woman on a cheap plastic harmonica.
***Shout out to my peeps back in the States who also are making their way abroad in the coming year/months: Beegs (Alyssa), Bonnie, Mia, Polly.
Let the string of international dreams coming true continue! I am so proud of us ;)
