Nothing ever happens here.....

So the Americans are enjoying their stay here in my sleepy little village. They are a bit exhausted from all of the activities, and for some of them, this is their first trip outside the States, so they are feeling a little overwhelmed by everything.

After our Sevillana dance performance we ate paella together and I was bombarded with questions, some of them just so happy to find someone who spoke English. They all seemed particularly taken with how charming and 'old world' my little village is.

So it must have come as a bit of shock to them the following morning when my village made the newspaper's front page: Meurtre de l'électricien. It's a sad story of a wife who shot her husband, our local electrician, dead. No one is sure yet what actually happened, but the wife has been taken into custody. The village is a little shaken up; nothing like this happens here.....
