I am sure you either have a cd or heard of this guy Alejandro Sanz. Latin music is unfortunately not too popular down this neck of the woods, so my first introduction to this genre of music was when I visited naturally enough Latin America. I first heard the Sanz in a small restaurant in a town called Flores in Guatemala. Flores is a small island in a lake, its has cobbled stone streets and brightly coloured buidlings. I stayed there as its a jumping off point to visit the Mayan ruins of Tikal
Tikal:
Recognise this from Star Wars
I remember when I purchased the cd in Canada and I asked the guy if he knew of Alejandro Sanz he gave me the look as if "are you kidding me" ;D. Oh and by the way I like Tequilla minus the worm ;)

Thanks Matt......no actually I have never heard of Alejandro Sanz, but I like this song very much. I am going to have to find a cd by him. This is a great song. Thanks for posting it. That must have been wonderful in Flores and seeing the Mayan ruins. I hope I get to do that one day. The cobbled stone streets and brightly colored buildings sound so wonderful. I would have my camera out constantly cause I love taking photographs and I love places like that. Yes, I do recognize that from Star Wars!!! Latin music is not really popular here either, but I love it along with many other kinds of music as you can probably see from my blog. Music has always been an important part of my life even when it was before I remembered it. My sister is almost 11 years older than me so I heard the music she even played and she gave me her old 45 rpm records and albums too. I have a very large collection of music.
Yeah I can do without the worm too in tequila. It is funny cause Patrone does not have a worm in it. I did try half a worm one time........I know that is gross, but I can say I did it...lol. I could be on one of the reality shows and actually I want to be......either the Amazing Race or Big Brother, maybe Survivor, but I don't think Survivor is for me. Course you never know. I like challenges and overcoming obstacles I may have.

I haven't had a good look through your blog yet, but I love music as well. I have two brothers one is 10 years older than me and the other 8. I can still remember some of the songs the younger of the two was listening to in his teens ie Billy Don't be a Hero etc etc. Hey that was really nice of your sister to give your 45's and albums too. Sounds like you have a really impressive music collection there.

Eat a worm? you're a braver man than me. Mind you I have eaten roast guinea pig, alligator, ostrich, snails and so forth. Next time I go to Hong Kong snake will definetely be on the menu (told ya I am a carnivore eh). Challenges are great - Amazing Race I could cope with, but Big Brother or Survivor mmmmm not me. Hey but good for you wanting to be in it and for overcoming obstacles.

On my first trip to NYC I took over 1000 photos believe it or not. Yes Star Wars is a movie I saw I don't know how many times. Oh yeah Billy Don't Be a Hero..........I rememberr that. I think from what I know that I am about 5 years older than you so my sister being that much older than me, 11 years, was into the motown and 60s era so I know all that music too and I have it. Then my parents had her when very young so that means they went back into the 50s with elvis and all. So music has always been one of my big things.

To Bill Stockton from Cincinnati, Ohio..............I have never forgotten you and I never will. You got stuck in the elevator at the Yachtsman at Myrtle Beach and after you got out we had a wonderful time at the Pavilion. I never got to say goodbye to you. I never was so sad to leave the beach. You remain in my mind until this day and I guess you always will. This is the song that will always remind me of you and that summer. I wish I could have just said goodbye to you and I never got the chance cause my parents had to leave before you got up the day we left:
