reaching out of the water

[FPVigo (winter)]

nice to see more europeans here, I'm from Spain
Here in Madrid we have an importer -in fact nowadays I maintain a Briareus- and several sources for O Vulgaris, the most common here. In UK probably you can find more.
au revoir

Spain? But that's nice!
My father lives in Tarbes near The Pyrénées: do you know some town around the frontier where I could go to get one?

 

[FPVigo (winter)]

I got mine in Madrid, a bit far from Pirineos (Pyrénées). Perhaps you coud ask in Barcelona. I'll send you a PM with some LFS there.

 

[PoulpeStar]

Oh thank you!

I think I could move to Madrid if there's nothing in Barcelona that's not really a problem for me
-it is still shorter than USA -
but I don't know if the octopus would bear it?
What is LFS?

 

[DWhatley]

LFS is an English achronym for Local Fish Store and generally refers to privately owned stores and not large chain aquarium stores.

Mon Dieu!
Everytime I go there I dont manage to get a correct picture of "my" octopus, even when I wait for centuries and YOU go one time and take a complete pic grrr.
I think you missed the big orange octopus on the last floor's wall (did you?)
Anyway, I have a photo of the second octopus which disappeared, he was rather white, do you care about it or not?
-Do albinos species exist??-

Je dois quand même te dire que tu parles très bien français! Je ne ferai pas mieux dans ta langue! (I dont speak a word of yours..)

Well who is the belgian? Does he have a cephalopod?

The Belgian member (a she) I allured to is Octokidwriter, who does not own an octopus, right now, but is thoroughly enthralled by the species.

Et une tres grande "Merci!" a base de vos mots gentiles!

I think the "orange" GPO you mentioned is in my Architeuthis model shot, no?

 

[PoulpeStar]

Thank you for your help -but Im still waiting for the address :S-

And Ob, I didnt meant the plush but the kind of sculpture above the entrance of the second floor (you remember?)
It's a shame you didnt stay a few more days because the museum displayed (I am not sure of the word) an exhibition of huge diving pictures. There was a closeup of a tentacle: beautiful! I will add the picture in my album.

Et de rien: ça me fait plaisir de parler français avec un étranger je vais essayer de contacter Octokid merci beaucoup!

PS, I've sent you a pm with both addresses, please confirm if you've received it.
