Navidad con mis Primos 2010

With the arrival of Autumn, I am starting to get homesick again for my adopted home Asturias. I love the cozy feeling of winter in Northern Spain. The constant rain brings more people indoors to the bars to socialize and the bars offer a different fare in winter.  Hot wine served with fig, caldo de la casa,(soup of the house) and roasted or boiled chestnuts to name a few. I miss the smell and homeyness of a coal cook-stove warming the kitchen where everyone gathers.I miss my many cousins, uncles and aunts. This is a photo taken last Christmas Eve/Day in Bar Corea with my husband Miguel, cousins Vicen, Berto, me and Jose Luis.

Lobo

I want to tell you about my cousin Lobo. A rare individual whom I adore with all my heart. (in fact as far as I know everybody adores this happy and kind man.) Lobo sells beer for a living, but if you show up at his house I suggest you bring your own as he seems to only enjoy drinking coca-cola..... Always happy, always smiling! Whenever he talks I just want to throw my arms around him and hug him! Other attributes, Lobo is the best driver I know and thinks nothing of taking me up a mountain in his car to show me a pretty vista. Let alone parallel parking his 12 foot car in a 11 foot space with ease. If you would like to meet this one of a kind  he can usually be found on Friday evenings  in Bar Corea with many friends. I miss you so much Lobo.

Quiero hablar hoy de mi primo Lobo. Una persona no muy común a quien adoro con todo mi corazón. (De hecho, todo el mundo adora este hombre feliz y amable) Lobo trabaja para una compañia de cervesa pero si vas de visita a su casa trae tu propia cerveza ya que el sólo disfruta bebiendo Coca cola. Siempre feliz, siempre sonriente. Cuando le oigo hablar solo quiero arrojar mis brazos sobre el y darle un abrazo. Otras cualidades: Lobo es el mejor conductor que conozco y para él no es nada el llevarme con su coche a través de las montañas para enseñarme una vista impresionante. Él también puede aparcar su coche de cuatro metros y medio en un espacio de cuatro metros con toda facilidad. Si queires conocer a esta persona única lo puedes encontrar los viernes por la tarde son su esposa y amigos en el Bar Corea. Te echo mucho de menos Lobo!
