We went around the first year we came there, but we never knew what the signs were about.
Can you please tell me something on the last but one photo? I've always wandered what it was.
One typical advice for being happy is being near kids. From time to time, that is...:)
It was nice and melancholic seeing these photos.
Whoch photo do you mean? New View?
Or El Carmen Espadaña?
From time to time kids are wonderful to have around. Then China is the perfect place for their own development. I mean they need the concept of the remote sceneries.
I mean El Carmen Espadana. What is it? What does it mean? And what is the prison now?
Was the Bee Museum also nice? Bees are a great way to learn about people and societies, are they not? If only our society was as much oriented to the general interest as theirs!
One more question: are the two Shadows on the Walls (I mean the two persons bending over) your two walk companions? They seem to be.
Espadaña means belfry, the place where bells are. Usually they are in churches, but this one is just a high wall with holes for the bells. It was used to warn about possible dangers.
The shadows in my photo were not my companions, I meant the battlememts.
We couldn't get to the Bee Museum. It was such a hot day that we stopped for lunch by a river and there we stayed the whole day.
Bees societies are oriented, but in a certain way, they are not democratic at all. They are a collective, but somehow I feel I owuldn't like our society to be like theirs. too much specification, too much determinism. Individuals have no freedom, too much conductivism.
Yes, I think you are right about the bees. But do we have all the freedom we think we have? I'm back at reading "Five Millennia of Manipulation"and it's making me question a few things. Quite interesting and even funny at times, but a good sleeping treatment too due to the complicated sentences.
I knew you meant the battlements, but it might have been a word game, a double sense.
Thanks for the answer.
