On the way to meet Paula (intercambio) Margaret and I were walking in what seemed to be a parade... or rather a procession. They all had flowers and we realized we better not continue walking with them, but when there are so many people it is hard not to do so! They were all bringing the flowers to the plaza de la Virgen for the ofrenda. Which will be amazing no doubt, I am very excited to see it, and so I better go today! I'll take pictures so all of you dear AMM News blog readers can have an idea of what a big deal this offering is here!
Today after a quick siesta (I hope) Margaret and I will be meeting with some other friends to walk(?) to the beach and see the falla that is set up there, I am very excited. And today we have 70 degree weather, so it shall be a nice day.
Pretty exciting. I have been working on putting an album together for you all of Fallas on the pic site, and so here is the link for those photos and I will be adding to it within the next couple days :-)

I especially cannot wait to see these beautiful works of art be burned... just because I am in denial and I need to see it to fully appreciate it. Hopefully that will make for some good pictures, but I am sure it will just look like a bonfire at night (laugh).
I hope all is well with everyone at home!
We are all coming walking this week through some difficulties and our Lord is doing amazing things and He will be raised on Sunday, so this week in general is pretty exciting! and I am sure processions will be nice here. The processions people dress up in what americans would at first glance say klu klux klan, but it is not so. It shall be fun to see!
...and... I suppose I should start reading Niebla, oh Unamuno... :-D
Love you all, and miss you all as well.
