[Leica] Barriere Rodeo

Alastair,

I'm envious of the two of you.  I had wanted to make a side trip to Ronda 
while there, but just not enough time.  Send photos.

Cheers,
gene

Hi Howard, wondered why we had not heard from you. Nice to have you back.
Helen and I went to the LUG meeting in Barcelona and are now sunning
ourselves in Southern Spain. Ronda at the moment. Here its all bull fights
and the horses are more 'refined' ;-) I'd post some images, but looks like
the wifi like everything else here at this hotel is a bit unloved :-)

Already looking forward to Africa.

Cheers
