Kristine Swenson grew up on Quarton Lane and married a dashing Spaniard, Joaquin Frias. He moved to Birmingham Michigan to raise their family and runs a Spanish language program in Birmingham serving individuals, students, travelers and corporate interests http://spanishinternational.com/ 248-971-0465. Luckily for us, at the very time we were in Madrid, so were they, visiting Joaquin's family and introducing his parents to their newest granddaughter, Maria.
Joaquin's father is 90, and they shared memories of Francisco Franco's reign
We went for a special snack of churros and chocolate - the thickest chocolate shy of being mousse
Ron adored all the novelty acts that populate one of the main squares Peurta del Sol
The clock is the famous clock all Spaniards turn their eyes to on New Year's Eve, guzzling down a grape to each of it's twelve chimes at midnight.
Lastly, we ended up at a bar drinking and singing
