Carcassonne

Carcassonne has been a resuscitating breath for my enthusiasm during our short stay.  Maybe it was the wonder of the old fortress and it's surrounding legends, sleeping in comfort until well after sunrise for once, or a little of both, but my cough and my anger are healing nicely. Today, we leave for Barcelona, where I may actually be able to speak to people coherently and without abject humiliation.  I have much to make me grateful.  Also, Carcassonne is a great game and you should try it sometime.
