    Well, we're in Spain. Hey! But just a quick one for the ex-follower. So the first 30 minutes of being in Spain for our first walk during the daytime, first 30 minutes we saw an old man speaking to the police. He was pickpocketed. Then after that we went to the coffee shop. We were sitting there for, what, three hours? Three hours, and I noticed a line that was there the whole time. So eventually I asked what the line is for. It's for food, and you would expect it to be loads of immigrants, right? like black people from Africa or Muslims that came from Morocco or something like that but no, it was such a mix it was everyone, it was Latinos, Africans it was Spanish but there was so many Spanish and we were talking to Rocio's friends and it's just crazy that people can't afford food and the line was over 20 metres long and consistently there and moving for the whole time we were there and it was nearly more than 3 hours people are saving the money for the rental of their apartment or gasoline before food and the next thing we get to see in a few days is if the protests are still going on in Ireland so Europe is beautiful but it's not the same and everyone is so used to the food lines as well we asked our friends and they were like yeah that's the food line but it's big, it's long, it's consistent crazy, crazy, crazy
