It's been almost a month since we got back to Algorfa, and it's been BUSY. Two days after landing, we were off to Valencia to attend a competition by the three regional champion bands at the Palau des Artes Reina Sophia. Our friend Roberto Teruel plays saxophone for the Albatera band who came out on
top in our province of Alicante. The concert pitted the best bands from Castellon, Alicante and Valencia. Our local band won, so the next step is the nationals in Madrid. Anyway, we had a fun trip and got to listen to some great music in an iconic concert hall. I can't decide whether it looks like a space ship or a fish.
A couple of days after the concert we picked up the keys to the new house and started moving in. This, after packing up, storing and shipping a ton of stuff in Westbrook.
So last Friday we're in the new place, having a housewarming for 24 guests and I'm sitting down for a break and a bite when the doorbell rings. It turns out that the shipment of stuff from Westbrook, which I'd been told would arrive on Monday, is here-all twenty two boxes and a table. It's all unpacked, put away and we're into cleaning and shining up the old place so it can be photographed and put on the market next week. In the meantime, I've got to do my cycling, do some more paintings for the exhibition in April and get into some of the relaxation and chilling I've been bragging about. More about that when it happens. Saludos!
