and so the feria begins

The time is 8:42 am. We have already had a barrage of fireworks and rockets (to let people in neighboring villages know that indeed our feria has commenced), and a parade led by the always-out-of-tune village band (but we love 'em and would have it no other way). Oops, here we go, the second round of rockets just started (mass scramble of puppies under the bed). More later.... Hasta pronto, mylifeinspain
