excalibur

Excalibur is the name most widely accepted of the legendary sword of King Arthur, which have been attributed various extraordinary properties throughout the many versions of the myth and the stories that follow. There are several theories about the origin of its name. One of the most widely accepted is that it comes from the Latin Ex Liberatus Shim: Freed from the stone. 




Still, in many writings have been called in different ways and may present name derives from one of these: Caliburn, in the writings of Geoffrey of Monmouth probably derived from the Latin word Chalybs: steel; in ancient Welsh story 'Culhwch and Olwen 'is the name it derives from the Gaelic Caledfwlch old Caladbolg: sword flashing. It is accepted that the name was given by the Anglo-Norman

 The most accepted story is that in which Arthur, dying, ordered one of his knights tothrow his sword into the pond in which he lives Nimue, Lady of the Lake. This gentleman, who first disobeyed, then accept the order with great reluctance, is called Griflet, Bedivere, Lancelot or Perceval, according to the story.

When the knight throws the sword into the pool, wearing a white silk hand (Nimue) arises from the water surface, takes the sword and then disappears into the depths. This story about the return of Excalibur to the lake could be based on the customs of some Celtic peoples to throw lakes belongings of the great warriors who had just died as offerings to their gods.It is also said that the sword rests with the King in Avalon awaiting the day of his return.

CONIL

We have a house in Conil de la Frontera, Cádiz. Conil is a little village near the beach, but lately has grown up for the tourism. There are littles neighborhoods near the village, for example, our house is in one of them. We love Conil because we like the food, especially seafood; and the beach is wonderful.
This village has got interesting things, the Carnival and processions, for example.
To go out, Conil has got discos and pubs like "Aqua" or "Ohjú Club".But we prefer September´s Fair. Last year we went in there and we danced and had fun a lot.
We love cooking, and we do it in Juan´s house because his kitchen is bigger than Julia´s kitchen.
One day, we cooked a special cake: Tiramisú.
First it was delicious but the next day Juan, Julia and theirs brothers had stomachache because the chocolate that we bought was expire.
But not all were good anecdotes and fantastics things.
Two years ago, in a windy day, our family was in the beach. Juan and Julia decided to went swimming in the sea. Suddenly Julia was very far of the shore so Juan went to rescued Julia and we arrived to the shore, she was laughing but she was frightened but only was a horrible adventure.

summer

This year, we are specially impatient about holiday. We are going to go to Amsterdam, Holland. This is a wonderful city, and there are a lot of places to visit there, so we are going to stay in the city for at least ten days.

Then, we are going to go to Rota, to Angelito´s house. In the house there will be a lot of Angelito sister´s friends, so we´ll be very cramped, and we have to be very fast if we want to have a room for us. There we will go to the beach with the Pérez´s, Blanca and Pedro. We´ll also go to the Urta´s fair, the first weekend of august.
