Yes I also remember the gorges, what a great place. How did your job interview go? Spain is beautiful and I'm very happy to be back although the job situation could be much better, I have to say. I'm only working part-time with a tiny salary and undergoing a long administrative process to be able to apply to full time positions in the public system. Hopefully next year, although spain is unfortunately the most bureaucratical country in the world :( so until I have all my paperwork ready (and validated here) there is nothing that I can do, ay! Definitely, make sure you visit us if you come by next year. bike trip sounds like an excellent idea. in the mediterranean there are long stretches of bike lane between cities crossing all the fields of fruit trees and rice fields, they are gorgeous and great to navigate via bike. It's crazy hot in the summer though, i recommend you the greeny and cool north. Where is your wedding at? I haven't heard about Antonio lately. We were in touch for a while but i've been so busy with the move, defending the dis. looking for jobs etc. i'll write to him soon. good luck with everything, i'll keep reading the blog often :) big hug.

How do you like your job in Valencia? (It sounds like the job market was kind to you--but then again you were exceptionally well qualified.) Do you periodically come back to NY for visits? I have to say, the day in the arboretum/gorges and the picnic are the things I remember the most fondly about Cornell. We should have a picnic-hike again some time. I may be in Spain next summer for a friend's wedding, which may be combined with a looong bike trip through Spain. If the road to Valencia does not include too many hills I should really stop by. cheers, M. P.S.: have you heard anything from Antonio (also SCT)? Hi Anna–so great to hear from you!!!

Hope all's well in your life. I already checked out your new book, you famous academic, you. I am applying to a few schools down in your general area (Florida International, etc.)--maybe I'll be able to visit sometime, should the academic gods be kind enough to grant me a job talk (or maybe even a job?) at one of these institutions. Oh, will you (both?) be coming to the MLA this year? talk to you soon... P.S.: come to think of it, I could do a little promo. Buy Prof. Machado's new book here: http://www.amazon.com/Latino-Canon-Emergence-Post-Sixties-Literature/dp/1403977968/ref=sr_1_4/104-2340516-9359911?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192403886&sr=1-4 those loooking for alternatives to amazon can see other seller options here: http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&qi=WXEeMPO7rNhYgtgfmZzfOhChT5A_9901936503_1:4:89 Hi Elena–so great to hear from you!
