Back To Valencia
Sunday, March 31, 2013 We are back in Valencia. We arrived a bit before 4:00 PM yesterday on an AVE that was mostly empty. That makes sense since the Puente extends until Easter Monday. Everything should be open again on … Continue reading
Marching In Madrid

Monday, March 18, 2013 There are 300 bands in the city of Valencia and some 10,000 musicians and at some time or other yesterday I am certain they all paraded by our building. Their repertoire is very interesting and in … Continue reading
FALLA To Be Wise!
Sunday, March 17, 2013 The good news is that there is enough soundproofing when you close the door midway down the hall to muffle the street noise sufficiently that one can sleep. There was additional proof this morning when I … Continue reading
Where You Lead, I will FALLA you!
Saturday, March 16, 2013 The tent in front of our building is fully operational. Last night’s hubbub was not too bad. Given the fact that our bedroom is at the back of the house and that there is a door … Continue reading
