I uploaded several of my prints to Facebook. Here's the album link: http://georgetown.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2099611&l=8589a&id=1414800

Today at the Bellas Artes museum, we saw a painting of cigarreras, women who worked making cigars in the Tobacco Factory (now the university). It prompted my history teacher to inform us that almost every Spanish cliche -- flamenco, toros, Spanish patios, exotic cigar-making women(?) -- comes from Andalucía. The exception is paella, which is apparently from Valencia. He's probably biased, but I buy it.
