Last noight we found ourselves in a little bar for a flamenco show. We were the only extranjeros(forieners) in the place, which as packed. There were two guitaristas and one contante. As they played, all over the bar people calped compas (a rythem spicific to flemanco) and in between the tables of an overly packed bar some danced flamenco. Most folks were between 25-35 in age. It as the most real Spain I have felt so far. It was neat to think that flamenco isn´t some antiquted part of culture that is pulled out for the turistos, but is really part of life in souther spain.
MisaWent to mass this morning with my friend form Mexico. It was very simple and nice. After the gospel the priest invited all the kids up to kiss the book as well. When it came time for the colection, four kids just sprung up. Two passed the baskets and two brought forard the gifts.
