Jan. 5th, 2009 11:26 amI'm back in Spain, which kind of makes me sad (I really enjoyed being around my family) but also happy (It's really sunny here today and Not Grey).
I have gastroenteritis, which is a lovely reminder of the good old days when I worked in the NHS, but I dragged myself into work and apart from the queasiness, it was a good thing to do - today is El Dia de Los Reyes - the Three Kings. In Catalonia, they enter the port by boat and then parade through the city. The mayor then hands them a 'magic key' so that they can enter all houses and deliver presents to the children of Catalonia. Yes, the spoilt buggers get three rounds of Christmas presents.
It kicks off at 5pm or thereabouts. I can watch it from my office window! :D
*child-like excitement*
ETA: They've just entered port on a tall ship, surrounded by a fleet of boats and cannon fire. It's so magical and awesome and asdfghjkl; I have to leave work!!
:D :D
