literary evening

That was the last summer activity in Zorita. We all met to read some scenes from Macbeth in Spanish. We were given our roles and we just had a couple of hours to rehearse. It was improvisation, more or less. The idea was getting something fresh and funny to do as a goodbye gathering.
My sister's in law sister, who is a theatre director, was in charge of giving historical and artistic explanations at the beginning as well as of reading monologues together with her husband, a theatre actor.
Then we had something to eat and drink, a final "mojito" and we went home for the night.
it was the first time we had done such a thing. In the past, children had produced their own tales and short stories for us to see. But this time it was us, adult people getting into other lives. I had to read a male's role: Ross and Ricardo was an Old Man.
I found it really amusing. I would like it to be repeated in some other moment, either summer or whenever because it brought back the idea of group, of collective work.

horses in town

Yesterday evening, late because it had been a very hot day, we went for a walk in town. el Rastro was full with people. There is a stock fair and people were looking for clothes, shoes, toys and accessories for better prices. There was a redish light in the horizon.

all of a sudden, when we got to San Vicente we saw a group of people of horse. We came near. It was a new summer night activity. It was a reading about Santa Teresa. They would visit places connected with the saint, following a riding path.

There were two or three wagons with children and horses.

Some of the horses were really beautiful and strong, even nervous because of the flashes. They listened to the reading at that point. It dealt with the saint's birth and family details.

Then they entered the town through San Vicente Gate towards the Cathedral.
We took the other way looking for a terrrace to have dinner. it was not an easy affair, everybody was out.
