Ah, the charm of the European small(ish) town... For a Victoria-sized city with such a lively night life, Jerez is pretty much a dead zone on Sunday afternoons. Almost all shops are closed -- even the larger, chain grocery stores (or most of them) and many tapa bars and cafes (or they close after 2 and don't reopen in the evening).
So today, after our classes (Carolyn and I are both taking classes in the morning this week), we've just been relaxing and enjoying some quiet time... A first since we got here! Must say it's rather nice. We will even have a chance to have supper before we head off to the show (Rosario Toledo and Joaquin Grilo are on tonight)!
Tomorrow will be a different story--we're back to practice time and class time... So, that will leave us with very little time in between. But that's ok. How often do we get to positively OD on flamenco?
I'm absolutely loving my class this week, btw. Ángel Muñoz is not only a ridiculously talented bailaor--he's also a brilliant teacher. I'm glad I decided to take a lower level on this second week! My class last week was also pretty great, but I had to be on my toes (not literally) all the time. It's nice to be able to focus more on fine-tuning stuff now, rather than just on trying to remember choreography.
Looking forward to the rest of the week.
