HOLIDAY SEASON IN VLC Dec 3, 10:07
Courtesy of the Valencia Life newsletter:
Last evening Valencia Mayoress Rita Barbera officially turned on the Christmas Lights of the Town Hall and the square in front of it, revealing this modernistic tree. Also present at the brief ceremony were the Falla Queens of next year. According to the Fiesta Department of Valencia Town Hall, the tree has some 50 Christmas greetings in various languages on each of its 32 elements ‘as a message of hope for 2006, and equally to point out that the City will play host next year to [Pope Benedict's] World Family Meeting and another series of regattas preceding the Americas Cup’.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." or so the song goes,
except perhaps to those accustomed to snowy climes. Here in VLC
this morn it's a real beaut of a day, sunny blue sky and already 15C
headed to 20. Same tomorrow. :)
