5 and 6 June, 2010 - Caceres - It's Complicated in a Town Like Adelaide

I arrived in Caceres in the middle of a festival weekend. 40 000 candles were lining the streets of the old city. Unfortunately it was rather windy during the evening, so not many were lit. Caceres is a beautiful city, with a very interesting history. The conquistodors of Mexico and Latin America have left a legacy. There is also a music festival that runs through all of June. Wandering through the old city I came across a concert by a saxophone ensemble. Sure enough, I ran into Yuri the Italian in the crowd.


It was hot, but somehow not as hot as 40 degrees in Melbourne and still ok for walking around in the shade.




















Girls going to their Holy communion


This guy was belting out flamenco in opposition to the holy communion ceremony going on in the church behind me.
