Marija Temo - Flamenco Artist (and much loved by Patty)
Marija just landed a national commercial for Taylor Guitars/GE Capital!
She is playing the guitar music throughout the entire commercial. Some of the music she composed and arranged. Quite comically, they put the head of Deb Barker, GE representative, on Marija’s body during the guitar scene, so you probably won't know it's her playing.
"It was an absolute blast, amazing adventure, and a wonderful challenge! I am very grateful for the opportunity and experience."
It will be airing starting July 5

Sandy Visits Maryland
Sandy from Canada recently visited the Maryland branch of the Altner family. We were really thrilled to have her with us even though it was only for a few days. Next time perhaps we can convince her to stay longer.
Both Sandy and Patty enjoyed checking the merchandise at this Ellicott City garden shop.
Sandy enjoys lunch at Tersiguels, a great French restaurant in Ellicott City.

At home in Maryland
We have a recent addition to our family. She is a black cat and her name is Sombra (Spanish for shadow). We got her from the Howard County Animal Shelter. She had been there almost 2 1/2 months and many of the volunteers feared she would not find a home. My friend Karen, one of the volunteers, told me about Sombra (then named Mizzie). The next day I went to the shelter and immediately decided she would fit very well into the Altner household.
Here is Sombra taking a snooze with Michael.

While in Florida Michael spent a lot of time with Grandma. She told him she felt so much better when he stayed with her because otherwise the house seemed so empty

Quick Daily Journal
TRAVELING WITH GO AHEAD TOURS
Friday March 18 - Toledo
Tour of Toledo - old capital of Spain. An hour by bus.
First - around the city. Bus stops at scenic outlook - great view of city.
Photos
River Tajo surrounds city on 3 sides. It flows into Portugal where it empties into the Atlantic.
Toledo has 80 churches.
From lookout - view of Arab baths - an archeological dig.
Trees in bloom
white blossoms are almond trees
pink blossoms are fruit trees.
Visited the Cathedral - gorgeous gothic arches
Huge building
One fascinating Baroque section
El Entierro del Señor - a painting by El Greco
In the sacristy (sp?) of the cathedral are beautiful original paintings by El Greco, Velazques and Goya. These masterpieces are very accessible to the public.
Our guide, Luís, is quite knowledgeable and enthusiastic about art and history.
We walked along cobblestone streets. Old Toledo is lovely.
Walking to the Puente San Martín and PHOTOS of Toledo before crossing bridge and while crossing bridge.
After touring - a “factory” where Damascene items are made. I bought earrings for myself, a small plate with the Star of David for Mom A, and a pendant for Mom.
Saturday March 19
Going by train to Córdoba. 2 nights in Sevilla
Flamenco show tomorrow night.
Ate breakfast with George from Wisconsin near Green Bay.
At 12:30 in Córdoba we could hear the church bells and see the bell tower.
Palm Sunday
Sevilla - Within the courtyard of the Alcazar a wall section in Grotesque Style - Photo
Previously - Photo outside church.
Monday
Between Cadiz and Marbella
Acorn trees and bulls together in open fields.
Los Corson - a restaurant on the highway to Marbella. slowest service in the world. We arrived at 2:00. Our food was served at 3:00. Then we had to get on the bus at 3:30.
Wednesday - March 23
Leaving Marbella - I will miss this lovely place and the wonderful ocean-side room.
9:00am we should be leaving soon Raining a bit. Maybe this happens most mornings at seaside.
Jane and Bill went to Morocco yesterday. Jand said she had “a sinking spell” - nice southern expression, but she still said she enjoyed it. Bill had not been to Morocco before and she wanted him to see it.
Spain - not unusual to see Plice on mopeds. almost everyone rides mopeds.
Question - What happened to George?
When I came to the lobby this AM I saw George lying on a couch. He was one of the last to get on the bus and then it was only with help. Alexander held him under the arms helping him to walk to the rear of the bus.
Alex and Christy are now married. Don’t know the details.
Afternoon at ALHAMBRA - many PHOTOS 26 of 36.
Adventure in GRANADA - took a cab with Ron and wife. We wanted to go to the old section of Grananda and ended up in Albayzín. It’s raining and I’m cold. Jan and I stop at a small café for coffee and cheese plate. Had an unexpected view of the Alhambra - breathtaking.
name of café - Carmen de Aben Humeya
A very nice man called a cab for us which took us to our hotel.
A beautiful view of the Alhambra from the café. I could see people (barely) taking flash pictures of the town from the Alhambra - close to where i took my first pictures of Granada. Too bad I didn’t have my camera and of course Jan didn’t have hers either.
