Indeed, bad temperature for a suit! <br />The central plateau is always an oven in the summer... but at least it's dry!<br />Hope it wasn't all work and no play though! ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-42865907597936164402009-06-22T23:49:25.921+02:002009-06-22T23:49:25.921+02:00Wow - you have been busy!

My parents take her once a day in the car to another town to be sure she'll poop! she's too stressed out to do it around here... :s<br /><br />public drunkeness isn't much of a problem here. Drinking is forbidden out in the streets except during this holiday and New Year's Eve, and except for the teenagers and university students most people drink pretty responsibly anyways. Since it's not such a big deal people don't go out of their way to "get drunk" (except for some university students)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-46696400015155971802009-06-22T22:24:11.728+02:002009-06-22T22:24:11.728+02:00My dog gets rather aggitated by noise as well - he...My dog gets rather aggitated by noise as well - he's been very upset lately because neighbors have been setting off fireworks even though 4th of July is still almost 2 weeks away.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026655338225093707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-48162706960406839652009-06-22T20:11:33.569+02:002009-06-22T20:11:33.569+02:00I know what you mean about not minding the noise w...I know what you mean about not minding the noise when you're there, I love street festivals and parades! I went to a lot of them in California, but don't here in Florida. Here too many people just use them as an excuse to get belligerently drunk and spoil the fun of others. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a teetotaler, but public drunkenness is a pet peeve of mine.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-88540258640551900112009-06-22T17:06:01.223+02:002009-06-22T17:06:01.223+02:00Don't worry, I don't really need all that ...Don't worry, I don't really need all that much peace...

Oh well, the dvd should be available in a month (in the UK). :p<br /><br />Yeah, kids are always happy with noise, especially when they're making it! ;o)<br />In any case people who are deeply involved in the Fiesta don't mind all the noise and hubbub, they're having too good a time! And quite frankly it only bothers me from time to time! But then I don't live with a "Barraca" beneath my window (the place where neighbours participating in Hogueras gather for their meals and dancing etc.) like so many people downtown do!<br /><br />Also, I can enjoy it much more now than when last I lived in Alicante... I was in University and wouldn't you know... June is Finals month! Just try studying with lots of noise and realising that what you really want to be doing is partying instead of being locked up with your books! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-33774174086656487692009-06-22T04:12:01.794+02:002009-06-22T04:12:01.794+02:00I remember when I was young and never noticed the ...I remember when I was young and never noticed the noise;) Like on July 4th... (coming too soon) In the country they like to shoot guns along with the fireworks.
