BIRDS OF PASSAGE FROM CARACAS

Do you remember the game of musical chairs?. It was that game that sounded a song, and he stopped, everyone sat killing at least hustler foot.

Well, on Monday, while enjoying my last hours of vacation, my uncle told me the crowd Nacho stork that was occupying the battlements of the towers of the Cathedral. From La Huerta, you could see there were wading, resting on one leg, praying to San Blas before continuing their journey to warmer lands.

storks Seeing like a chorus line of tightrope walkers, in each of the battlements of the Fortis, I wondered where they had gone to the companions eliminated from musical chairs. The castle was empty and its battlements there was no sign of them. The tower of Santa Maria, which closed years ago as a catering and other high-empty.

storks Perhaps it was already known and decided Sigüenza make a stop on the way to enjoy the view, as the returning traveler, and have a drink of water, or smoke a cigarette, or sing if you sing, or maybe bring two legions of children with Parisian accent, which re-animate the streets during the cold winter. I figured that the other companions continued their journey without stopping to admire Sigüenza, thinking stop at the nearest McDonalds.

will not know whether climate change or that I know, but years ago that San Blas storks are not, perhaps it's time to change the popular sayings and replaced by "The day of San Ramón Nonato, you'll see storks a while. " Indeed a while because at about 22:00, when I went to say good night, the bird had flown the nest.
