Food and Choir

 At dawn Ruth went foraging in the relative cool ( 32 degrees), she found The San Miguel Market, where we ventured out for breakfast at 10 am. The food was glorious




The lisping choir Talia Grupo were in fine voice. Their selection of hits from Eurovision were inspired and sometimes incredibly moving. I will post a few pieces when they arrive on line but will leave you with this rehearsal piece of Fairytale a Eurovision winner for Norway in 2009.


The auditorium gave the orchestra and choir a standing ovation which held three encores
One of which I videoed ( you can video an encore btw)


After the concert we had garlic prawns at the market followed by beers in the square as the rain pelted down as it has down every evening at ten pm


Lovely

    John, please seek medical attention for your left side facial droop. It's very noticable in the photo.

    Did I miss something? Why is it called "the lisping choir?

      When the choir sing in English they have a natural Spanish lisp which is both endearing and rather attractive

    It's true what they say then - the rain in Spain really does fall mainly on the plain.

    Such stamina! You'll be reflecting on these experiences for ages.

    And garlic prawns, yum. I have to check and see how long your flight home will be - probably not as long as I am thinking.

      I too was curious, 2 1/2 hours in flight if all goes well. Like flying from JFK to Chicago?

    It sounds as though you have had a wonderful time. I wish it would rain here every night at 10pm, it would save me a lot of garden watering, as well as cash now that we have a water meter!!
