Decisions and a Wonderful Lunch

Saturday, 23 May, 2015:

The morning saw us begin our initial packing for the trip home to California. The first chore was to somehow decide what things to discard and what things to actually pack.

When a couple is a pair of pack rats like we are, these types of decisions are not easy to make.

At least we started . . .

Around noon we started a three mile walk from La Hacienda to the Barrio del Carmen for lunch with the Constante's.

YUM!!!

Along the way we saw things of interest, as usual.

Election Day on Sunday

 Solidarity is a good thing

There is no propaganda like

Commie propaganda

 Another Festival in Murcia

This one featured music and dance from all over the world trying to bring cultural understanding between all cultures and faiths.

The traditional three cultures in Murcia, and all of Spain for that matter, were Moorish, Jewish and Christian.
