The flamenco show was lots of fun! Thanks for organizing the show for us, Kevin. WE both said afterwards how much we had enjoyed it. Was really great to have time with you two after so many years.

They did a excellent job and it was really nice to be with such a small group to be watching it. It seemed very private which we preferred over some of these big venues of 200 people or more.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-55992849188544065532017-02-08T19:05:53.590-05:002017-02-08T19:05:53.590-05:00Happy Birthday!

I read that they think they were to pay Roman taxes, but you have to wonder what happened for them all to still be sitting there untouched back then. I really enjoy your traveling history lessons.
