I have had a few experiences like that, and I felt full of anger at the time. There is definitely a brusqueness that can come across from certain people, especially in certain professions. I find the waiters can be supercilious, for instance. But I found over time that if I stood up for myself, they would change their tune! Once I experienced it very clearly when a waiter was tsking at me, and I finally confronted him, "what would <I>you</I> like me to order? I am ordering one of everything on the menu, why are you rolling your eyes at me?" And he completely changed his demeanor and treated my sister and me with utmost respect after that. :)<BR/><BR/>Madrid sounds fantastic. I have never been to Spain. It's good that you have the memories if you can't go back. Our minds are wondrous things.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-77721791909487123222009-03-17T15:59:00.000-04:002009-03-17T15:59:00.000-04:00Oh, Gwen!

Yes, Paris is overwhelming, sometimes almost too beautiful for me. I did not need to go back for a while, but I'm getting the need again.
