En Aranjuez . . .

EN ARANJUEZ CON TU AMOR
Joaquin Rodrigo / Alfredo Garcia Segura

Aranjuez,
Un lugar de ensuenos y de amor
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas.

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance
que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos.

Quizá ese amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso.

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas seces sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance
que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos.

En Aranjuez, amor
Tu y yo!

Yes, I've been listening to Andrea Bocelli again. It seemed fitting music while reading James Michener's Iberia: Spanish Travels & Reflections, a fascinating combo of travel itinerary, interesting local characters, architecture, food reviews, and liberal doses of Spanish history. What a change from the last book I was reading! Iberia was published in the mid-1960s, so much has changed since then - especially attitudes about gender roles!

It sure is nice to have some sunny weather here! (Is the weather behaving like summer where you are???) Altho over the past weekend, I spent more time looking out the window at it than going outside and enjoying it. Apparently I've been overdoing studenthood or something. (My body has a very clear sleep quota, and when I get to a certain deficit point, it simply shuts down and catches up - whether I like it or not!). Oh well, one more class, two more exams, and then I get a break until September classes begin again!

Since my weekend was so dull, did anyone else do anything interesting???
