I am a business owner and investor. I enjoy experiencing life. And that ranges from reading good books to driving fast cars around race-tracks and from scuba-diving to flying and from cooking to learning Spanish. This blog is my personal blog. It is all about my life, my likes and dislikes and my hopes and desires.
Some of the things that people have said about me: “surprisingly tall”, “idiot!”, “hasn’t got a six-pack, he’s got one barrel”, “what big feet!”, “hasn’t got much hair has he?”, “well, what do you expect, he’s audio-digital”, “who?”.
Today I went and saw some of the fabulous statues that they build each year for the Las Fallas fiesta. They are made from papier-mâché and are as big as the surrounding buildings! Here are a couple of pictures that I took today as they were completing the assembly of some of them …

Did you stay to watch them burn? I hope so, it was so spectacular. I guess that tradition started centuries ago as a right of spring when the village folk would burn their old wood from the winter that had been used to hold their candles. When it got brighter they didn’t need them anymore. Now look what it has evolved to!
