Sustenance at El Copo



I have found that volumes can be communicated here with just a smile.  It's not so good for my language acquisition but wonderful for the soul.


I just want to say Muchas Gracias to all my Spanish friends at El Copo as well as to the friends I met along the way in passing through there.  Thank you Begonia for making sure I was fed and for being so patient with me in helping me practice my Spanish with you.  Thank you for directing me to unique places in your very special town, as well so that I could really immerse myself in La Herradura not just as a tourist but as a student of life and a traveler.  You made me feel very welcome here from the very first day.

Thank you Teresa for telling me about your daughter's flamenco class.  I did enjoy watching them learn this fascinating Spanish dance.  Thanks also Sebastian and Luis and little Begonia for your generosity of spirit and smiles of encouragement.

If you ever get to La Herradura you must go to El Copo.  You have to pass it to get to the Spanish School of La Herradura.  The food is fantastic and the good people you meet even better.

Previous Life as a Flamenco Dancer


Previous Life as a Flamenco Dancer


I have had numerous experiences of people telling me that I look familiar to them here in La Herradura.  One gentleman in finding out that I am American tells me that he has a strong desire to return to the USA as he believes he might have lived there in another life.  He wants to go to a dude ranch so I suppose he thinks he used to be a dude.

I myself started to think that as I am so recognizable here to so many people perhaps I had lived a previous life here in La Herradura which would account also for why I feel so comfortable here.  In expanding on these thoughts I visualized myself as a Flamenco dancer in my previous life here.   This past week, however, I have been told 3 times that I look like Celine Dion.  Maybe that's why I look so familiar to so many people.  I guess I was never a Flamenco dancer after-all!

He has a beautiful voice and sings like Del McCroury.)
