Pull down the curtain!

This is part of the curtain in the theatre of the town I was born. It's very beautiful and it is also very old. The theatre opened in 1904 but it was renovated several times. On the below photograph you can see what it is like.              patio-y-telon.jpg

Boiling

Sometimes I get surprised with simple things and I take a photo. This time I took one of water starting boiling, I love bubbles!!

All you need is love!

I feel hippie and who knows if one of these days, my husband and I drive a van all over the world! (Dreaming is free!)

The Saint James' Way

 This is a pilgrimage many people used to do in medieval times. Legend holds St. James was buried in the city of Santiago de Compostela, in the north of Spain (Galicia).
 Whenever St. James's day (25 July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral declares a Holy or Jubilee Year, with different activities.
 My husband and I did from Roncesvalles (Navarra, near the French frontier) to Burgos (Castile and Leon). During our way we met an Italian man called Luigi. He was walking from Rome because his wife died and he was very sad.

BINGO!

I played bingo with children to review colours, numbers and family vocabulary. They liked it a lot! Although one of them wanted to win. He didn't do it and he got very angry.

Homage to Sydenham Edwards

Sydenham Edwards was a botanical illustrator. William Curtis, the publisher of botanical works, and founder of the Curtis's Botanical Magazine proceeded to have Edwards trained in both botany and botanical illustration. (Wikipedia)

I've always been interested in this kind of drawing and after watching something similar on tv, I decided to do it.

Immigrants

They are part of our everyday life, but we don't pay any attention to them. Sometimes I think they blend into the scenery as if they were invisible.That's why I normally have a smile for them saying I'm part of you and you are part of me.
