A personal journal about my life as I age. Reflections, comments, rants, and stuff I find on the net. That's HFUID for those who love acronyms.

Here We Are
Well, we are into it. We joined our peña for the evening. First there was the blessing of the peña flags at the church, then the proclamation by the mayor of the town. Formalities finished, the peñas took off for the bull ring. Each peña has its own band so the din was extraordinary. At the bull ring there was a running of the bulls and some local boys playing at being bull fighters. We lasted for a half hour or so and then went down with David to have some coffee and wait for the dinner, which began around 11 PM. The food was great and we ate our fill. Everyone was very friendly. Now it is 1:30 in the morning and the concert is going full blast just below us. I decided to put up these photos and then try to get some sleep. Good luck!
