So I’m still in Cádiz. What are you guys doing?
casa azahar 
I’m puttering in my basement. But I’m also thinking of Cadiz being Gades (I looked it up) and founded by the Phoenicians/Carthaginians meaning the likes of Queen Dido
and of Phlebas the Phoenician in T. S. Eliot, who
a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passes the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
I am dazzled at the thought of you setting your feet so close to the spindle of history.
