I'm on TV tonight!

At the beginning of the month I had a TV crew following me around for a couple of days. The results will be on the telly on TV Canarias at 10:30 tonight, as part of the programme "Canarias, Mi Mundo".

In other news, I've just started a course to become an official "starlight guide". It's quite intense, and I find five hours of Spanish quite tiring but it's fun.

The crowd themselves provided pretty good entertainment, too. Not everyone was in fancy dress, but there were some great costumes there.

After the drag queens, it was time for the funeral procession. Most places have the sardine on the back of a lorry, but in sauces, the huge bier is hand carried, and they toss it around as though it’s on a rough sea. I hope to get some video up later. Meanwhile, here’s some photos.
