Okay, so in reality, they're called "Las Cruces de Mayo" but here at home we refer to them as "mini virgins". I (wrongly) assumed that after Semana Santa, the processions were done, but now, every brotherhood is bringing out small versions of their virgins (again with lots of beer, drunk men, and brass bands). Adrian's school has a procession that he will walk in on Tuesday! Thankfully, there won't be any drunk men there.
Otherwise, temperatures rising quickly and our time in Sevilla is going fast. Tomorrow, The Don heads out to the mountains for 2 weeks of field work. Gatito and I will sweat it out here in Sevilla, finish reading Narnia (in Spanish) and learning his guitar pieces for his music camp in July. Besides, that, we've decided that we should devote the sunset hour every day to a bar along the river where we will sit, drink and contemplate life.
Also on the horizon: A BETIS game (local soccer club to which we have become a family of fans. Gatito received an outfit for his bday and wears it every day after school. We've also accumulated a BETIS watch. And the upcoming Saturday is the last game (By the way, Betis has had a rare, horrible year and if they lose this game, they fall to the dreaded 2nd division...hell. We will (hopefully if I can figure such a thing out) be there cheering.
