I thought I would upload this short video to give you a look at one of the fireworks displays during the recent Festivals of Burgos. There were fireworks every night for an entire week during the celebration and I was pretty impressed with the quality of the shows. Of course, I should let you decide on the show quality for yourself after viewing the video. Continue reading this post…

Those of you who read my blog often know that I recently moved to a new apartment. After the move, I decided to make a short video (“MTV Cribs” style) to show everyone what my new, improved place is like. I’ll admit that my video might be a little bit “low budget” in comparison with a typical “MTV Cribs” episode; but still, I think it’s worth a view.

In fact, I remember that the absolute first procession that I ever went to was with an Irish friend of mine who, like me, also had never seen a Semana Santa procession before. In my mind’s eye, I can still see the “cloaked individuals” coming out of that church in Valladolid, slowly making their way into view, and my Irish friend saying to me with a look of astonishment on her face and a thick Irish accent, “Oh my God, who are those people???” Continue reading this post… I decided to try my luck with the whole “video blogging” thing and so I made this video to let everyone know that my visa has “officially” been granted and now I’m one step closer to going to Spain in September. It’s probably not the best video on the internet… but hey, it’s my first attempt. Continue reading this post… |
