TIME

[Rosina Lila]

Hi Maria,
You can read one of the editorials on line. Go to
                             www.timeeurope.com
On the multicolored left hand side column you will find "past covers", go to
it and click on July 5.  When that comes up, right next to the cover, on top,
there is something headed "Star Tracks", click on it and that will take you
directly to one of the editorials.
I will send you the other one as an attachment, and will also send it to any
one of you who may like to read it.
I came back to New York City last Tuesday and mailed the hard copies of the
magazine to those of you who asked for one.  Do  let me know when you receive
it.

The Galician newspaper, "Correo Gallego" has a picture gallery today of Queen
Sofia of Spain arriving at Monte del Gozo yesterday.  She walked accompanied
by 300  (yup, three hundred) members of the Royal Guard, many of whom were
riding horses.  She wore an attire reminiscent of a girls scout uniform with long
pants, and  used a walking stick with a cross on its top and a  small gourd.
While she did not wear a backpack, she carried a large shoulder bag with her
personal items which, reportedly, weighed six kilograms (about 14 pounds); the
strap of the bag was very wide, to support the weight, one imagines.
Surprisingly, she did not wear a hat.
(I have never ceased to be amazed by the fact that despite the fact that the
broiling sun may be coming straight down their faces, very few, if any, women
in Spain wear hats).
The newspapers also report that the pilgrims office refused to grant a
pilgrim the Compostela after he had traveled the last 300 kilometers of the Camino
on a unicycle.  The reason for the refusal was that he apparently had unicycled
for exhibitionist, rather than pious, motives.

There are many other interesting news tidbits, but I've got to run.
Warm regards,
Rosina
