What is going on in the Plaza Mayor today? It appears that there are rows of seating through out the Plaza. (It is 6:50 p.m. there in Spain, and the plaza looks mostly empty of people.)

Hi Sofia, long time no hear Frowner

Good to have you back though Smiler

Well, it is always good to check out the "hot topics of the day" (link from the homepage of the message board) to see what is up.

If you go to my post on the "Mass(ive) Almudena" at the following URL...
http://www.multimadrid.com/cgi-bin/jersbbucgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=15&t=0000 17

... you will learn all about that setup in the Plaza Mayor.

I bet the suspense is just killing you huh?

Just wait till tomorrow morning!

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. Has your school trip to Spain been cancelled due to the fear of flying in the U.S.A.? I know school boards get very nervous when stuff like this happens.

Thank you for the info about the Virgen de la Almudena. I was surprised to see everything set up in the plaza when I went to the web cam.

Our trip is still on. Numbers are changing, but we are still on.

Your very welcome, just doing my duty Smiler

Yeah, they set up in a few hours this afternoon, the Spanish don't mess around when it comes to "fiestas" Big Grin

I asked about your trip because I remembered you were coming. I have been saving up loads of old magazines in Spanish that my girfriend and I usually throw away. You know, stuff like "El Pa�s Semanal", "Vogue", "elle", and others. Too many to mention but I thought your kids would get a kick out of them (and save money at the same time) so they are yours if you want them.

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. One thing to keep in mind, here they show things in everyday magazines that they do not show in the U.S.A. (ie. nudity, etc - although in good taste) so you may want to scan through them first so you do not get any outraged parents and/or bosses.

Hi Jeremy, Now I am enjoying the Christmas views of the Plaza Mayor from your web cam.

VERY SAD NEWS: our school trip is canceled. You can imagine what it is like here with all that has happened.

Thank you for saving the magazines... I wish I could come on my own to pick them up.

Life is not normal for us here. Of my 40 travelers there was only one boy who wanted to proceed forward and his parents were not decided. Otherwise, everyone wanted to stay home.

Hi Sofia.

Too bad, and I thought all was well with the trip from the last we spoke.

I guess the wounds have not healed yet although I have noticed a lot more people travelling again Big Grin

Maybe next year!

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. I will keep the magazines in the store room anyway just in case Big Grin

really, too terribly bad for us! Actually, I think group travel is much more difficult now than individual travel. Because I was intending to travel with students I had double the fear to deal with: the kids' fears plus the parents' fears. My own fears set in, too. As the days went on, and a second incident happened (November 12 plane crash) the situation for our group got worst. Maybe I will still make it to Spain in the company of my husband, but I will not be with a group. Your gesture of saving magazines for us is so beautiful. Thank you. Someday we will meet. Estoy segurisima.
