For bringing us the video of the Mae Dos Pobros feast. For over 20 years I have missed this feast but this year at least I watched it on video. It almost brought tears to my eyes. It was somewhat sad to see the amusement park in the fere, the giant wheel, the bouncy castle but I suppose this is moving ahead with the times. We can't be stuck in the days of my youth, when the highlight for us kids was the fancy dress competition, which incidentally I won, two years running, the first year dressed as Eve and the second year dressed as an androgynous half girl- half boy.
The Church is slated for expansion, the inevitable "wings" which will forever alter the aesthetics of this magnificent structure. That too is progress I guess. How I wish I could live in some sort of time warp. http://www.youtube.com/joeukgoa#p/a/u/0/9dbCeX1uzsQ Best, selma
