More Pictures From the Spanish Embassy Memorial Service
Posted by Bill
Mourners gather in front of the embassy.
The crowd moves towards Washington Circle.
The Spanish Ambassador chokes up as he speaks to reporters: "The Spanish people, along with the American people, all the freedom-loving peoples of the world, we will persevere together."
"The smart thing for us to do is stick together." (I think, roughly) UPDATE: WRONG! - "Madrid, The beauty that you are, we are with you!"

The nation of Spain has contributed generously to the coalition efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it appears that it is now suffering for its committment and determination. Spain, this American thanks you for your efforts and mourns your loss with you. Please don't lose heart, and let's stick together.

Posted by: Bill at March 12, 2004 03:27 PM I'm homesick: The sign is difficult to translate... MAJO is cute, nice, pretty, handsome, friendly, my cutie-pie, who knows what. A girl could say about a boy she likes: he's so majo... It's signed by "those from Arguelles", a student neighborhood not far from the university. I had a few good times around there in my day. The tapas are to die for. Oh to be there now! Posted by: Fernando at March 12, 2004 03:40 PM Thanks for the translation! Posted by: Bill at March 13, 2004 12:00 PM |
