Sunday June 4th

this was the top of our high street over the may day celebrations, all the rosemary on the streets...

today was no market in la trocha, something else was going on, and yesterday franca and i went into coín and had a wander about, there was a celebration going on there, lots of old fashioned carts, with bunting and flowers, pretty girls in flamenco dress´s and handsome men in traditional flamenco wear... as in tight black pants white shirts and black hats etc etc, only some of the carts were being pulled not by horses but by tractors and making a right racket! some of them had huge stero systems on board blarring out music at a volume you wouldnt believe!

took a photo or two will publish tomorrow...

franco and i went down to marias apartment today, make sure everything there was good, took pippa, couldnt walk her on the beach now, will have to wait till september now...

and last night we were down on the coast at francos bosses bbq... was a good evening, he cooks a good dinner, and lots of extras with it prepared earlier by his mrs and family i think, we just outside in a big circle and ate and talked and drank and did that over and over and over again! we bought them a really lovely pressy for their 30th wedding aniversary we were all celebrating with them, a big urn type thing for the garden, one that lays down with a flat bottom! anyway, turns out it was just what they wanted!

i am still reading paulo coelho blog of his 90 day walk, will miss it when he come to the end of this journey of his, seems like we who are reading it are also with him in our own ways...

The glory of the world is transitory,
and we should not measure our lives by it,
but by the choice we make
to follow our personal legend,
believe in our utopias and fight for our dreams...
