a record of otherwise ordinary things in Gibraltar seen through the eyes of a newcomer; of things she finds beautiful; of things she appreciates..all because a Gibraltarian stole her heart

national day 2009
a sea of red and white all over town. red and white being the 2 predominant colors in the Gibraltar flag. even the cute doggies are parading in casemates sporting the colors of the day.
a stroll through main street and people just came out in droves. there was even a lady pushing a pram with a pig in it! (i didnt take a pic though)
we watched the childrens costume contest and a cute cake and calentita seller won :D we were rooting for the twins :D heres a pic of one of them :D
after the fanfare, it was time for a barbecue at the beach :) plenty of food for everyone with the very best of Gib cuisine like paella, pinchitos, steaks, hamburgers, sausages, cucumber salad, stuffed sardines, rice pudding, etc. prepared by Pepi, Vincent and Nuria.
i was stuffed the whole day! what a day! *burp*
