Ayer tuve un sueño...

I have a plan to help me through the coming Western NY winter...ir a Andalucía.

Such a trip is complicado y caro. But, my sister IS a travel agent in Spain. Should I take along my oldest children? The youngest are 3 and 5 years old. Not one of them has met my family face to face.

I haven't proposed the trip to mi esposo yet. For now, sufro una meloncolía profunda y eschucho la música del grupo El Barrio.

Aventura

I've recently discovered the music of "Aventura." Their official web site (available in English and Spanish) describes their musical style as...their nouveau sound fuses bachata (a guitar-based Dominican folkloric music sometimes called the “Dominican blues”) with R & B, hip hop and other American pop and urban styles.

I particularly like the series "Amor de Madre" (Parts I and II). The songs tell the story of a fatherless boy who runs with the wrong crowd and lands in jail, only to find himself face to face with his father, who suffered a similar fate.
