    Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight Come out tonight, come out tonight Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon(Old minstrel song, perhaps)Pilar and Lavinia are in O Toural, a central yet free-flowing litttle plaza in Santiago de Compostela. They have been discussing the new film coming to Numax and how they ought to go because it's had great reviews."I hear the actors aren't professionals.

    Someone is talking to me but all I can see is their teeth, so round and yellow they look like cooked corn.
