Yes, that´s right Tania and other, this summer is very very hot.
Here in Madrid, and the rest of spain, tempertures goes up till more
than 42 C degrees at the shadow, so imagine under the sun.
Despite it Madrid if full of tourists.
I have been all the morning walking, watching, buying something
and this city is incredible.
How many people walking by the streets under the burning sun
in fact wearing nearly nothing to cover their bodies and sometime
my eyes goes where it not allowed to go, but there so many beautiful
girls and women that is impossible not to see.
Yes I know what are you thinking about me, but it is not true, I am
a married man and fidelity is my rule, it has been always so why not
now? than I am alone at home.
But Cuca is inside my mind every moment so it´s nearly the same
to be a good man.
With so muy hot some humor is necessary Tania.
Regards.
After trying a long time I managed to listen maybe 80$ of the ESL Podcast 1226 – Describing Sounds. It seemed to me very good, with new topic, new acknowledges, didactic to teach lesson. Thanks Jeff and Dr Lucy lots.
