Meeting people in Jerez

I have met so many people in Jerez. I would like to share some of them with you. (Check back as I will be adding more!)



Here's Fatima who owns a shop on the corner of a very small winding street just down from the Tapas bar where Juan Jose works. If I ever get my iPod uncorrupted... you will hear her, and her guitarist husband.



Sitting in this cafe enjoying the sun, and one of Jerez's specialties - a sherry (they simply call it "vino" ) and squid Tapas is Isabel, a dancer from Germany.



This is Pablo (with Monica and I after a show), who is a dancer from Madrid, and is taking Monica's class with Antonio el Pipa. He is charming and jokes with everybody......



Susan the beautiful doctor who helped me with my nose... she was just picking up stuff from the healthfood store.



This is Bella from Berlin, whose parents are professional flamenco dancers there. She is planning to go professional. She and i are both recovering from a colds, and exchanging medicine advice. We sat beside each other at several shows , and Bella would point some of the well known people in the audience were.



Alysia is a beautiful young woman from Washington DC, and was just on her way home when we met. She is just about to start graduate studies...and her mother is a learning disabilities teacher , (we had a lot to talk about)



These two girls were in my first class. The picture is taken just outside the gym door. The blonde girl is from Hungary. The other girl is from Japan.



Jose talking to Monica about flamenco (what else) in a bar. You see Jose everywhere - at the Penas performances, cafes, bars and usually he has a cigarette sticking straight out of his mouth when he talks.
