history is cool!

um so what you are seeing are the remains of christopher columbus. that's right the columbus who sailed the ocean blue in 1493, or was it 2. i never can remember that rhyme. oscar and i went to the cathedral the other day and they are having an exhibition of lots of chris's stuff and you can just go and look at it. they had all this information from tests they had run on the remains to prove that they were in fact his. i was just hoping that i could have my remains kept in a gold box on display. or i would actually prefer the gold box without me in it. i could just put stuff in it, you know, like pens and pencils and stuff. if you had a gold box what would you put in it?? and no dumb answers like all the things that are important to you.
oh and hello to mikki and denise who posted recently. 

An unusual wedding idea

One of our first trips as a group was to the roman ruins just outside of Seville, Italica. We left Seville at 10 in the morning and needless to say it was already hot. We (Idoia and I) were enjoying the tour from afar, because Doug, the director, likes to give the tour standing in the cool and friendly beams of sunlight that gently burn your skin to a crisp. See the small areas of shade up against the walls, yeah that's where we were. Anyway, we were leaving this part of the ruins just as this wedding was about to start. On our way out of Italica, about two hours later, we saw the wedding party again taking photos and such and, let's just say, (advice for Lindsey concerning makeup) the bride's makeup was not 100+ degree-weather-proof. It was hanging down around her chin and I'm sure that in the "light and airy" multi-layered dress she was sporting, she felt indeed like a blushing beautiful bride. So all this to say, I was thinking that maybe we could move the wedding to the Roman ruins that lie (is that right Mom?) just outside Azle, Texas.
