The Difficulties of Travel

I have one or two long posts from Hondarribia left to write: I need to explain my visit to the Spanish emergency room (I'm fine!)


But right now, I just have to remark on this Bank of America representative, who is a lovely lady, and who is convinced that the reason why my online banking won't let me sign in is not that it requires a text message (which I can't check from Europe). Rather, it's because the United States has economic sanctions on Spain.


She tried to give me a phone number for the Department of the Treasury!


And when I said that wouldn't work, she spent a few minutes thinking, and then transferred me to the Spanish-language help line.

Oy.
