Chupinazo!

Today in Spain the running of the bulls in Pamplona started. Chupinazo is the first day of the week+ long festival. Don't know what it means, but it involved a lot of wine, water and soapsuds. My kinda party!

Everyone wears white with red sashes and scarves. Beautiful! My boss's admin (they live near Madrid) is there this week.

I miss Espana!

The Land of AUS and Iemma

I took a few shots of Sydney and the surrounding area while I was there, and posted them here:

Album #1: Around town
Album #2: More city shots
Album #3: The Art Biennale, on Cockatoo Island
Album #4: Around town again
Album #5: Katoomba
Album #6: Bondi Beach (watch how you say that around these parts)
Album #7: Paddington and Manly

Important to note, the premier of New South Wales is named Iemma (Yemma)!

Bad, bad Moe.
