This is just a quick update to say that there'll be no more updates. At least, I don't think so, not for a while.
I'm in Burgos, heading out to Barcelona Saturday night and landing in Amsterdam on Thursday. I think you can see why posting may be left a bit behind. (Please realize that I'm a) pressed for time and b) panicked. So I may be lying right now, but bear with me until further notice.)
Regarding housing, I still have zip. I'm at an internet caffee now, and I've just gone through some 45 emails from the agency, of which one was good. I've sent a notice to them, and then through another agency expressed my interest in two other rooms.
I'll fill you in on what's been happening these days some other time.
