En La Ciudad: March 2013
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Sunday, March 10, 2013. By the time I'd zoomed in several times, the photo didn't come out great; but you get the idea. Two animals looking down on us from the very top of the ridgeline. They stood in place for quite a while and allowed us to take pictures and get out the binoculars as well. I'm not positive, but I think these are Western Spanish Ibex, a somewhat rare breed of mountain goat. Photo below of the they look like close up. Friday, March 8, 2013.

En La Ciudad: April 2013
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Monday, April 15, 2013. Cross country bus travel in the US is accomplished by the riding the 'hound. Greyhound that is. In Ireland one can cross the country by bus as well. But you'll take that journey in a bus adorned with an red Irish Setter. So I suppose that means that your bus ride in the US will be faster, but the ride in Ireland will be better to accompany you on a hunt. Or is better for hugs. Sure, we'll go with that.

En La Ciudad: Sheer Luck.
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013/05/sheer-luck.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Sunday, May 19, 2013. At the incredible Cliffs of Moher. We lucked into sunshine and gentle winds, rather than the rain and gusts that are so often there. Lydia informs me that an important part of Harry Potter is filmed at the base of one of the cliffs.

En La Ciudad: The Spoils.
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-spoils.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Only when a torero performed especially well, and only with the crowd's approval, the president of the bullring will wave a white kerchief in appreciation. This is the sign for the torero's assistant to cut off the bull's ear as a reward. Hard to see, but in the his left hand this fighter is holding the bloody stump of an ear in triumph. In a moment he will toss it into to the crowd in appreciation for their cheers. I did not catch it.

En La Ciudad: On the Shore.
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-shore.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Monday, May 20, 2013. Just another gorgeous Irish castle along the way. This one has been restored and hosts feasts open to the public in the summer. But book your seat for the summer 2013 feast now, they fill up fast. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A Day at the Fights. Other people who do this too.

En La Ciudad: Side by Side
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013/04/side-by-side.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Saturday, April 13, 2013. The old and new side-by-side in Cork, Ireland. A fairly common sight in Spain as well, for someone from a relatively young country as the US living in Europe the contrast never really gets old. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

En La Ciudad: Refuge.
http://somuchvanity.blogspot.com/2013/03/refuge_9.html
Bits of daily life in the grand Iberian Capital. Saturday, March 9, 2013. Much like in the Swiss Alps, the Spanish have built a series of refugios (literally - shelters) along their trail system. A great place to get out of the cold, have lunch or even spend the night if your own a longer trek. This particular refugio even had a small bar serving beer and coffee.
