still in the land of crappy networks, so still no pictures. on the bright side, andalucia is gorgeous.
yesterday, in cordoba, we witnessed a feria in progress, involving lots and lots of women in flamenco-like dresses, horses, carriages, dancing and much eating and drinking.
there was also a wedding in progress in one of the chapels at the mezquita, complete with choir.
so that was all very impressive. it´s really hot here, too, for spring - with temperatures hitting the low 30s in the afternoon.
we went pedal boating on the guadalquivir today, after a great lunch overlooking the river.
tomorrow we plan to go to the beach and to visit huelva, on the atlantic coast - we might as well see the countryside as most things will be closed (being monday).
after that it´s the long haul to madrid, via merida - which is supposed to be one of the more impressive sites of the roman occupation.
geoff nearly got stuck on the metro today - some kind staff eventually let him through - so he has learned to be more fleet of foot through the turnstiles. he made me a lovely birthday card, tho, so i don´t know why the universe trapped him?!
on another expensive connection thru the hotel, so that´s all for now :)

ReplyDelete¡Dios mío
Es por eso que las fotografías han dejado de?
Didn't know JT was such a cunning linguist!
ReplyDeleteWe will look forward to the slide show on your return to see the true glory the descriptions can't explain.
House fine - but getting cold. Can I turn on a heater the weekend before you get back? It'll be an icebox by then. Plants fine but also cold.
No evidence of partying or cleaner...
Poxy weather about to set in - oh goody. Only SA teams in Super 14 final Geoff.
Oh and John tells me James Jasper has just moved to High, Sarah! He was cross - no-one told him there was an issue. I asked if it was a sexuality problem. John looked stunned and said he hadn't realised. He's on the ball our John!!
See ya
Happy Birthday. Rang but got your voicemail only. I hope you're having a lovely birthday in the sun. The tale about G and the turnstiles set me to reminiscing as many of the choristers I travelled with had similar problems. They were a lot older though... Big storm coming in from the north east and severe weather warnings for the whole country. Enjoy the sun!! XX
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good birthday and celebrated properly. Horrible colds going round Welly at the moment. Spent most of last week at home feeling sorry for myself so enjoy the hot weather while you can.
