Started out peacefully enough....

Holy jeez this day wound up fast.

Started out lovely and calm, sitting around, reading, drinking tea, hanging with the kids, doing a bit of organisation on the house....

Had a nap,

THEN

It was Youngest's end of year festival.  Can you say tired?

Lots of dancing, lots of performances, lots of LOUD LOUD music.

It rained today so they moved the party from the town square to the basketball courts.  The acoustics are a wee bit louder in a basketball court.  Each class did a dance, to music.  Although the theme was global culture, there was a very strong American influence on the whole thing, we had cowboys, then indians, gospel singers and two different hip hop groups...though one was nominally bollywood hip hop....there were Hawaiian surfers as well.  On the international scale there was a slightly confusing fusion of Japanese girls dancing with Chinese boys to Chinese music, but what the heck....

Then they pumped up the music, all through the rest of the night.  Spain, or at least my corner of Catalonia is a noisy place.

My ears are a ringing and my voice has left me.  Hope it's back for Monday, still gotta teach.

Let the good times roll, no?

Sounds like a good time, despite the rain.
Maybe you can bring earplugs next year?

At least there were none of those soccer horns . . . They are all the rage here and man, talk about loud!
