We have a bunch of party people coming to town this weekend to liven up our small quiet beach town for a few days.
It starts today, which is Friday, and goes through till Tuesday next week. I guess it is Mardi Gras time in the states so this is our version over here on the southern Spanish coast of a beautiful country close to the French mountains separating the two countries. I welcome all of the crazy people coming here and am a bit excited to see their costumes and watch their crazy antics. If it gets too much I’ll retreat to my air conditioned flat which is quiet and far away from all of the chaos. I live in the center of the city on a quiet street so it’s great that I can be home in a few minutes to a quiet sanctuary. My central heat and air unit acts as a white noise generator drowning out all of the sounds from outside. The only noise it doesn’t block out totally is the sound of fireworks that we sometimes have in this town. Spanish people seem to love their fireworks, but their dogs feel a bit differently about it. A lot of people live here without air conditioning in the summers and I have no idea how they sleep at night when the temperature outside is 90 F! I tried it one summer with two fans blowing on me and I was always waking up in a pool of sweat. Hopefully, we live and we learn as we age in life. That’s how it’s post to be, right? Haha. Yeah, I said post to be.
