Monday 10-26

Hey - Its Monday Night -

Happy Birthday mom.

Okay - so yesterday a few of us met in the city center to see the La Trashumcia
It is an event that goes back a millenium before Madrid was a city. When one is a sheep herder, you move your flock from one area to another in search of food for the animals.

This tradition lives on in Madrid, despite the modern city being in the way. The herders parade their flock through downtown Madrid. the 6 of us enjoyed it a great deal.

Afterwards we went walking and had beer and food - just like the locals we are.

Today, class was positive - except the amount of work to do these last two weeks is intense.

Postings may be limited -
I will post a couple pictures - but the bulk will be on FaceBook

Adios for now
Beto

  2. Hey Joelito -
    Gracias - It is fun - a little too youthful last Friday. The club we went to the people there looked like they are 12 - literally. Way too young - but we had a blast!
