Muchas Gracias for the warm welcome:  I like this site!
I have been off the island for over eight years, with far too few visits back home in the meantime.  So many changes, I don't recognize the place. There are lots of things to miss about Bermuda: Number One are her people, you know, such as my family and friends, and people like yourselves.  However, I'm here discovering Spain, doing a reverse of Juan de Bermudez.  I have grave misgivings about the tenor of this coming election.  My friend, Dr. Brown is a disciple of the American way, so it's no surprise that we have started off this campaign in the American style of divisive, name calling politics.  I have never liked the American model.  It costs far too much, and even people on the same side end up slanging each other.  Witness Mrs. Clinton and Barock Obama as they savage each other, and they're both Democrats.  This has the potential of whipping up unnecessary hostilities between neighbours and friends.

I love Bermuda, the country of my birth.  I think that is only natural, and I keep as much up to date as I can reading the news on-line.  Generally I have simply read on in silence without joining in any of the discussion groups.  Having had a search round on the topics I think I would like to be a part of the healthy dialogue.

One other thing that I think members might enjoy from time to time is my view of some of the customs that I have become involved in while living in Spain, such as being chased by bulls down a street who have a serious attitude problem.

More to come soon...stay tuned!

                       

                               

Bienvenido a usted de un Bermudian a otra!


                                 


                               

                                     


I hope I didn't mislead you Offisland1, but I don't really speak Spanish!  I did my welcome to you post through the freetranslation.com website which my great-niece uses a lot (Spanish is her high school second language course) but I understand a lot of the written word.

What part of Spain are you in, and what do you do there if I may ask?
