Some nice things

1. Yesterday I went on an 8 mile hike through the forests/mountains of Huelva. We came across: figs, walnuts, chestnuts, edible acorns,  apples (which I later, drank...), peaches, pomegranates, and tomatoes. We drank from a stream and a waterfall.

Along the pass, we stopped to lunch in a small town called Castaño del Robledos.
While we were eating our "bocadillos" in the central courtyard, there was this little boy running around from person to person with a tray of glass jars and a large pitcher of brown murky liquid.
It was fresh pressed apple cider that they were preparing on the street in a wooden barrel. It was so delightful to see that IN entered those golden apples and OUT came ambrosial cider.

2. I went for a run today in a park and after, went to the playground. It made me very happy to see that in addition to all the cool things for kids to do, there was a section of playground for "personas mayores" (senior citizens) to work on balance, movement, and flexibility.

3. Kids get out of school at 2:30 PM, so they are all home in time for lunch, which they can eat with their family.

4. I might be taking a class called "Música en el espectáculo audiovisual" in the communications dept. at U. Sevilla. It's all about the use of music in movies and advertisements to evoke certain reactions within the audience.

5. "Spanish boy of the week" coming soon...
