Thanks again, Rez. You're right--pretty far afield in some ways, but also relevant, historically, to GL.
BTW, I come by my handle honestly. I first read DQ when I was 16; it's led me through my studies and into my career--I have a Ph.D. in Spanish Lit. The work is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year, and I recommend it to everyone, although not everyone will like it. I've been to La Mancha, and have seen many of the places mentioned in the book: the windmills at Campo de Criptana, the Cave of Montesinos, El Toboso, etc. It's a place that looks just like DQ--dried up, bare-bones, run-down--but like the novel, there's magic there.
