PUZZLE TREES

English fans have chosen Fernando Alonso as ..."the best driver of the year"..., says the blog of Edward Gorman, a correspondent for The Times WE agree.:-)

My photographs of these trees were taken 1) near the Post Office in the rain 2) on the beach front 3) in front of the church near the Town Hall.Known locally as palo boracho or floss silk tree.

Thanks to the readers of the Sur in English they have been identified !

ANTONIO LOBATO

GRAN PRIX

We all enjoy our wonderful commentator and his team, Antonio Lobato. He has kept us vastly entertained with episodes from racing all over the world for the past five years. His enthusiastic style and engaging smile, chats with Fernando and the two Spanish drivers from Ferrari and McClaren,Pedro de la Rosa and Marc Gene, informative and instructive have made all the difference to millions of fans.Thanks Antonio from an old fan.

Hooray for Fernando winning second place in Brazil and commiserations for Massa who though winning the race was beaten on points by a last minute overtaking of Glock by Hamilton almost on the last bend of the final lap. He went on to finish fifth with enough points to win the Championship .

The visit to Malaga Teatro Cervantes was accomplished in torrential rain, and well worth the effort.

The concert was Dvorak the familiar Serenata for strings followed by Serenata for wind, AND Symphony No 6 by Dvorak, conducted by EWALD DANEL

Next meeting on 5th November will NOT be in Bar Central due to winter closing.

We are meeting in " LA REJA" which is on the street behind the RED PARROT turn right at the corner and walk past the vet's clinic.
