Spring?

Some lovely flowers are in bloom

adventure industrial scale

Yesterday me and Seb tried to get to this coastal walk and beach near Aviles. However having got on the wrong train heading back to where we had come from, we then met a guy who we shared a taxi with. Only we were taken to the wrong side of the estaury. We ended up in this huge industrial docklands and walked around there instead and got lost. We then caught a train back to Aviles which only took 3 minuets.

kiosk

This is a new kiosk in the Bus station, Oviedo. You can buy plants and flowers, for a high price.
So Javi when you return dont get a shock by the new stuff in here this your town.

Carnival

We made an effort and dressed up for carnival. I am little miss riding hood, to my right is a zombie surgeon and to my left is a gnome? or something. We got alot of worried looks, I think now that maybe the 'tights' mask on my face was a little bit sinister. Later that evening we caught a taxi to Gijon 9in normal clothes) we went to Parque del Piles club and saw Stacy pullen
When we got back to Oviedo on Sunday the caos of the carnival from the night before was being swept up and sprayed clean with water.

days out

I have a friend visiting so we went to Luanco on the coast. Being English we set out on a coastal walk in moderate rain. This grew heavier until Seb, Rob and myself were drenched, and turned back after an hour to shelter in this church, where you had to put some money into the meter and the lights came on to reviel splendid sparkly and gold everywhere. Ive never seen shanderlears in a church before. We sat and ate seafood in a Sideria, dripping wet and cold.

congratilations

I promised to make a dedication to the 100th visitor,
So as the 100th visitor was annonamous I will say well done to Senyorita/ senor?
Maybe you are the star from my new favorite 'telenovel' Contra Viento y Marea. Mexican soap opera on T.V every night here in Spain. I thaught watching it might help my vocabularary but most of the time they are crying or saying 'Princesa' in amoungst the dramatic arguments etc! great! The woman holding the telephone is evil, the person in the middle who looks like a boy is actualy a woman in disguise in a plot to kill someone? and the three at the top are the 'Princesa and her two admirers who are brothers but arnt realy and dont know it!

rainy days

As you can see I found a way to amuse myself while Rob read the newspaper. It has rained all day so we went to the gym which was completely empty, I went swimming. It is the biggest carnival in this area tonight, in the town of Aviles, but it is so wet I will save my party spirit for next week when it will be right outside my door.
Dont forget the compotition of the 100th visitor.....

gone

Houses seem to dissapear here. I love the remnants of this house, the wallpaper is very durable.

Spire

This is a church a few minuets up the road, I love the sixties design. It has a bell hanging in the coiled spire.

modern

These are some wedding cake figurines I came across in an old chinsey shop. Covering all areas of the wedding market. nice modern view through an old fashoned shop window.

360

This is the estuary of Villavicosa,l the wet lands which are the most important flooded meadows in the north of Spain, boasting a vast array of marine birds. unfortunately when you spin around there is a newly built motorway just 10 meters away. Guess you cant have new economy and cute ducks, swans, geese, herons, and more!

round diet

I thaught it about time to feature a lovely tortilla for you all to admire. I am on a mission to learn how to cook a perfect one.
