Ivan gave a paella making demonstration on Wednesday morning to a group of students and their three instructors who called in from west Ireland, near Kerry. This was a first for Ivan but it was plenty of fun. We even had one of the students give a short performance of an Irish dance. Fiona, who is leading the Gaelic Workshop also participated by singing a short Gaelic song for the group.
I have a video of Ivan's demo and will be editing and then loading it onto YouTube where I can then embed it into my website so that is an up and coming event.
We are having our second ceilidh (pronounced "kay-lee") this evening. We have a group of UK walkers coming in for the evening to participate as well as our little group here in the Hotel Bandolero; the mayor has even said he would show up this time around and he is bringing his guitar so this evening promises to be a lot of fun. Ivan is now in the kitchen preparing short bread and scones, I have a couple of very nice bottles of single malt Scottish whisky on offer and of course there will be Scottish folk dances, singing and good fun for everyone. All are invited of course and admission is gratis.
We finished, more or less, painting and cleaning after the terribly wet winter we had. We have now painted the letters of the hotel in red as well changing the look a wee but and it does look a lot nicer; a wee change to the hotel image after almost six years. Ivan has built a small pond at the back of the hotel behind the pool terrace which looks lovely and I have planted some new flowers and flowering plants there as well and it is looking better all the time.
The village has put together a new video about Juzcar and I have already loaded into my website in a couple of places and plan to add more videos in the future. Here is the video of Juzcar:
Hasta luego.
Hasta luego.
