The Holland pics

Hi people!

The photos of Amsterdam that I promised. The first is on the gay's festival. They were dressed of policemans. There were a lot of gays went by boat on the channels of Amsterdam.

In this photo there are "magic mushrooms".
We couldn't taste it because to eat, the mushrooms have to be boilt.

The next two photos are on museums. On the left, a photo in Heineken's museum and on the right a photo of the torture museum, a chair with a lot of spikes.

And finally, the last photo is all the sardana's group dancing in a square of Haarlem.

The Portugal pics

Here you are. Three from the Portugal pictures we took during our holidays. You can see me having a beer in Lisbon at the Brasileira, with famous poet Pessôa behind me; then, in Lisbon too, in the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos cloister; and, finally, in the Roman ruins of Conímbriga.

I wish to thank Taril, Maxim and SterCat for their contributions on their holidays. Have you already read them? SterCat's description of her Amsterdam adventure is quite exciting, and I can hardly wait to see those pics she's promised.

I'VE ALREADY GOT IT!

Hi, my beloved students

I'm back from Portugal, arrived yesterday evening. Very nice country, excellent food (don't worry, I haven't put on too much weight).

But that's not the news: I've finally got it! Well, I should have got it earlier in July: it was sent from England on July 15 - then there's the Spanish post service. And... I'm already on page 18, reading that exciting initial interview between the Minister of Magic and the British Prime Minister.

Eh, I haven't heard from you in weeks! Where are those promises of posting something on the blog? Well, have a nice end of summer holidays, I'll see you in September.
