eat and run.

i think the saying "eat and run" was developed here in spain. literally, everyday i see people gorging their faces while briskly walking, running or galloping down the street. at first i gawked, or even laughed a little..."is that ham falling out of that mans mouth?" i would think. but now, it appears i have joined the masses to become an "eater and runner."

the other night it was a baguette on my way to class. no, there was no delicious stuffing, no cheese, no meat, not even a condiment. but a dry, crusty baguette is the perfect cure when you're starving and running late. yesterday it was a chocolate filled croissant on my way to the book store. today it was a granny smith apple on my way to the train station. who knows, tomorrow it could be a leg of lamb on my way to the park.
