[READ ME] Yes, I spent [the above] and had the time of my life! As soon as we got to Paris Nord station via EuroStar, we set off on the journey to find our hotel, and discovered that it was only a 10 minute drive away from the Station. Our hotel was named Hotel Élysées Union, and we were able to view the Eiffel tower from the window and the entire street, which was too awesome! The hotel was beautiful from the inside and I fell in love with it immediately, including its location; the streets were so ambient when we arrived, even though we were literally minutes away from Trocadéro (Eiffel Tower and neighbouring buildings) . On day one, we relaxed a bit at the hotel before we set off in our adventure to Troc. I tell you, never have I seen so many people in one space at any given time, IT WAS PACKED. It was almost like they were performing a pilgrimage to see this beautiful structure and to be honest, I'm not surprised why; it is simply stunning. Having said that, I have been to Paris and France quite a few times (6 or 7) but it just gets better and better; as if it gets more beautiful everytime, wonderful! On the way, we discovered what I found to be the best pizza I had ever tasted, from a place called Speed Rabbit Pizza (quite a discerning name but it sure didnt taste of rabbit, so don't panic! ;D) I definitely recommend it if you come to Paris! Lovely stuff, same with the shop-baked crisp baguettes from the patisserie! So nostalgic! :D Day two was a day to be spent mostly down the Champs-Élysées, the home of the world famous Tour De France. We took a taxi to the shop-packed streets and then stopped roughly halfway down the two mile long (roughly?) road...... BAD BAD idea! We ended walking what felt like ages to reach the Arc de Triomph at the end of the road after shopping. I certainly slept well that night; so so painful on the feet and legs but we had fun! We spent half an hour taking photos etc when we found that everyone suddenly started gathering towards the very edge of the street, so we went to see what was going on. It turns out the French athletes of the London 2012 olympics were due to be paraded around the Arc and we took full opportunity to see them arrive. They did, and in amazing big blue open-top buses, waving and flaunting their massive medals, treasures of the games. It was fantastic to see them, and I'm pretty sure I got caught on some of the newspapers and media shots as I was one of the people at the very front taking pictures of them arriving, so look out for me on French TV! Lol! It only makes me wonder what our British celebrations consisted of back home! Even better, I'd imagine! :D Day three was much more a day where we were getting set to return home, but we did spend time in a taxi spinning around Notre Dame etc before we returned to the Paris Nord station to head back home. This was by far one of THE best holiday experiences of my life; normally i'm not too keen on travel, especially if I haven't really had experience of the language or sites etc, but this time was amazing. I guess I just really needed a holdiay! ;D The people were amazingly helpful, everybody spoke English even though I did my best to flaunt my French (broken French is better of a phrase to describe my linguistic skills ;F) the streets were beautiful, and everything was just amazing! I really look forward to going back again, and urge you to as well. PS. Apologies for making my holiday insight a holiday essay! :D xxx

EL SÁBADO DE VÍSPERAS LO PUEDES VER EN www.flickr.com/photos/josemariamorenogarcia/sets/72157629...
SI ALGUIEN NO DESEA APARECER EN EL ÁLBUM POR FAVOR COMUNICALO A josemariamorenogarcia@gmail.com
La Cofradía de la Santísima Trinidad o Cofradía de Arrieros o Recueros de Atienza, está formada por una serie de hermanos y hermanas que están obligados a cumplir diversas ordenanzas, y cuyo incumplimiento es sancionado con multas de diversa cuantía.
Los cargos más importantes son el prioste, los seis o seises últimos, el fiel de fechos o secretario y el abad.
Otros componentes son el Mayordomo, el Manda o sayón y todos los hermanos "que no han servido la Vara".
Por último, hay que citar a las mujeres que, ocupan un papel destacado y son conocidas por la "priosta" o mujer del "prioste", la "seisa" o mujer del "seise" principal y la mayordoma o mujer del mayordomo.
En 2012 se celebra el 850º aniversario de la fiesta de "La Caballada", el 27 de mayo, domingo de Pentecostés.
La fiesta comienza a las diez de la mañana en casa del Prioste, aunque ya la tarde anterior los hermanos de la Cofradía de la Santísima Trinidad van andando hasta la ermita de la Estrella vestidos con trajes castellanos de pana oscura, grandes capas pardas y sombreros de ala ancha, acompañados de una dulzaina y un tamboril.
Al llegar las “tres mujeres” visten a la Virgen mientras los hermanos cortan el "mayo” en las inmediaciones de la ermita. Se trata de una gran rama frondosa que es adornada con profusión de roscas, naranjas, limones y frutos, que plantarán tras los actos religiosos del día siguiente. Finalizadas las labores preparatorias, los hermanos se reúnen para comer siete tortillas de vigilia, hechas con diferentes rellenos, que recuerdan las siete jornadas que emplearon los arrieros para trasladar al Rey Niño hasta Segovia.
El día grande de La Caballada es el Domingo de Pentecostés. Hacia las 8 de la mañana, los hermanos acuden en caballerías vistosamente enjaezadas a casa del "prioste", y desde allí a la del abad, y todos juntos se encaminan en romería a la ermita de la Estrella. Una vez allí, bajan de sus caballerías y comienza la procesión, siendo muy curiosa la subasta de los banzos o brazos de las andas, cotizada en celemines de trigo.
A continuación, la misa, y más tarde plantan el "mayo" en la explanada de la ermita, comenzando la subasta de roscos y frutos que de él penden, también en celemines. Termina la subasta, se cortan las ramas del árbol y se reparten entre los asistentes.
Finalmente se procede a efectuar el baile de la Virgen, especie de jota castellana, que llevan a cabo los hermanos, la cual se acompaña con sones de dulzaina y tamboril.
Así llega la hora de comer, dispersándose entonces todos los asistentes a excepción de los hermanos de la cofradía, que ante la Orden del Manda: "Señores hermanos, a comer", subirán al comedor de la ermita para tomar un menú obligado este día a base de cordero asado, un cogollo de lechuga y pasas. Terminada la comida, regresan a la villa montados a caballo, al igual que hicieron por la mañana, y por la tarde, en el pueblo, tienen lugar las carreras a caballo, por parejas, de los cofrades.
Autor: José-María Moreno García. Fotógrafo humanista y documentalista. Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

A cherished photo....the couple in front of my daughter are special. She is way up in years but still tries to take care of the world....she just recently told me her secret "she is 95"......

I am continuously amazed by the way life changes in the blink of an eye. Things will be going absolutely perfect, you'll be feeling great and BAM. Over. Done. Crashed. Burned. Fucked. I don't know why it takes me by such surprise cause usually I can see it coming or at least sense that something isn't right, yet when it happens, I am just blown away.
Last night, I spent the night in bed, with a bottle of wine, balling my eyes out and deciding that I need to make changes. Changes with the people I surround myself with, changes in what I subject myself to, changes in myself. I deleted my Facebook, I deleted my Formspring and I created a private tumblr in which I will write. I have decided to give this out to a few people, if you'd like to be one of them, you can message me here or tumblr.
I need to promise myself to no longer let others build me up, I need to build myself up and have others as a "cherry on top". I cannot give myself completely to others or open up until I can see that it's something that will not bite me in the ass, this time I made that mistake and it quickly bit me back.
I need to promise myself to start putting myself first and stop trying to fix the world and make everyone happy. It's not something I'm capable of, nor is it my responsibility.
I need to embrace who I am and who I have become/who I'm becoming. I need to not waste it on people who do not deserve it. I need to stand up for myself and express that I have feelings too, I may be able to fix things for people but I need to fix myself also. People don't see that. I cannot and will not be a door mat anymore.
