It seems there is always a Festival somewhere. Last week it was the Feria de Abril (April Festival) and now it's the Festes de Maig (May Festival). Last night we took the tram and train - all public transport runs to time, every 10 mins, immaculatley clean, one system connects with the next - and joined the 1000s of locals on the beach to watch an amazing firework display before a gigantic effegy of the devil was burned. As we have to take public transport wherever we go we always have to allow extra time for travelling but it has become part of the adventure to see how many forms we can take. Getting to church on Sundays takes a couple of hours so we use that as an excuse to visit lots of cafes on the way back. We have found a lovely little English Church - St Georges! - with a very uplifting atmosphere.
Mike has been busy painting again today - the old girl (Phoenix!!!) - is beginning to look quite posh.
We have spent this evening planning a trip - hopefully Friday - into the mountains. We are hiring a car and heading for a National Park in the Pyranees. We've also had to readvertise for crew as we have been let down by a couple of people.
