Embracing Spanish culture

Feria is the big Spring festival full of activities, dancing, eating, drinking, dressing up, horse shows, carnival rides and games and lots of fun. Each city hosts a week of Feria and then it moves to the next town. We've been three times in two different cities. We enjoyed delicious food each time. Our favorite meal was rotisserie chicken, salad, green olives, potatoes, bread. Otherwise expressed as a meal of pollo, ensalada, aucentunas, patatos fritos y pan. Either we are getting used to the food choices around here or we're getting better at reading menus. Probably a little of both.

Camryn was involved with Sevillana dance classes for several months. She really enjoyed it and did a wonderful job during the family performance. I'll include a short video clip of one of her dances.

Feria is also the official start of the Spanish Bullfighting season. The kids and I recently went on a field trip to tour the inside of the El Puerto bullring. From what we've learned, it's a very bloody performance so this will probably be the best exposure to bullfighting that my kids will have. Travis wants to attend a bullfight so we'll probably make a date out of it at some point while we live here.
