Sevilla

I arrived in Sevilla this morning to attend tecnimap 2006, and I will be staying in the city until Friday evening. I'd love to hook up with the Sevillan Free Software community after the show ends during the week, so if you're in the area, please contact me by phone (there's plenty of Debian people who know my number) or by email and we can try to make up some plans.

I'm staying in the Sevilla Congresos hotel in the outskirts, so going out to the city involves taxis, busses or other non-trivial means of transportation, so have that in mind!

Getting here has been quite stressful, but that's no news anymore. At 00:00 last night, not only I had not packed at all, but all my clothes were scattered around thre different flats in the city, and I had no car to go pick the stuff up. Luckily, this morning my sister could give me a lift to pick things up and then took me to the airport.

The flight revealed a very dry landscape as we headed south, and some irrigated areas in the middle of pure desert. There are also some very characteristic circular fields that show very cool patterns when looked from the heights. It's pretty hot in here, but still bearable. I don't want to imagine August around the place.

Anyway, if you're in Sevilla, I hope to be able to meet you any of the four evenings or nights I'll be around. I need some natives to walk me around the place, and in some cases, translate the very special Andalusian spoken here. :) Momona people, I also mean you!

Tu por aqui y yo sin saberlo!
