Gitano

I have been trying to get a photo of this guy for a year a half. He is always out on the streets with his burro and wagon. I am assuming that this is his only means of transportation, as he drives in the streets right along with all the cars and no one seems to be bothered or think it strange at all.

He was more than happy to stop for me to snap his photo, and lucky me, he even offered me a ride. Too bad Matt and the kids were waiting in the car, I might have actually taken him up on his offer. How many times in our life do we get offered a ride on a burro pulled wagon with a local gypsy in the streets of Spain??

Baby it's Cold Out There!!

Winter has come to sunny Spain, and we ARE feeling it. Not only do we have to bundle up to go outside, but we bundle up inside too. Our house is a dream in the summer when it is a blistering 110 degrees, but it is a frigid nightmare in the winter. He sure looks happy about it though!


Track Meet

Matt got some AWESOME photos of Bella. She is looking like a superstar! She placed 1'st in her 60 meter run and 2'nd in the hurdles, unfortunately she scratched on her long jump...
Alessandro placed 2'nd in the 50 meter dash and Renzo placed 4'th in the shotput. Max is actually at every practice with them and can lap them all pretty easy, but he is not competing this year.
