Can You Say Mid-Eval Festival???

That's right-it's here again-the midevil festival, full of people dressed in regalla from times past, parties everywhere, drinks in the streets, children laughing and playing everywhere watching mom and dad have a festive time. There are vendors of all sorts selling their wears, goods, food and drink. I specially like this time of year because it is hot, there are many private little holes called PEÑAS all over the city which provide one place after another to have a sip of the favorite drink, and everyone is very happy to be here. The PEÑAS were normally wine cellers back when that was where the wine had to be stored to keep it cool and fermenting, however, these places have become remodeled with tile floors, beautiful furniture, music, and many other various examples of wasting money for fun. (Mind you, there are still the nasty dives that you only frequent once also). Oh well, the festivities last a complete 9 days and when it's over-you sleep.....well, those of us who can afford to. I hope there are similar celebrations going on in your part of the world and everything is going well with you and yours too..Schools out so we will be going to the swimming pool and drinking cold beer in the shade while the kids swim....What a tough life........
