Today, we participated in a radio show here in Alcalá de Henares.

Cadena Ser invited us to speak about our experiences in Spain and about stereotypes of our countries here and of Spain abroad.

It was great fun. We laughed so much. and of course, we realized that we have so much in common.

Estatuas vivientes

Last weekend the municipality of Alcalá organized 'Living Statues' in the Calle Mayor.These 'statues' were standing in different parts of the street and like with bubble gum machines, if you drop a coin in their box, they do something like sing, dance, say crazy things, jump about.

This guy was 'Shoe Majer' as opposed to Fernando Alonso. See the unopened champagne bottle on the right and on the left a hat for donations for a new car.

These two had intellectual conversations... just like Don Quijote and Sancho.

This maiden drew your portrait... a stick figure portrait.

And then there were more...

back from granada. and need i even say how amazing it was?

the first two days there was a glorious sunshine (34ºC), reminded me of india. but the next two days the weather played foul. it rained. on wednesday there was a steady rain from morning till night and our luck, we had tickets to the Alhambra that day! on the bright side, how many people can boast of having seen the Alhambra in rain?

also visited García Lorca´s summer house, the many teterías (tea shops), the barrio Albaicín...

here are some of the photos, it was really hard to select just a few:

p.s by the way, for the first time in my life i missed a bus, the bus back to madrid, and had to take the next one! nice experience, don´t regret it.
