Ok so yesterday I encountered what people call religious mania... or supersticious mob... ok maybe there is nota word for it but seriously, this was funny. It so happens that August is the month for saint adoration in Madrid, and I was sent to cover this parade of San Cayetano that was going on downtown... very pretty, very cute, but old people get scary when it comes to adoring figurines... tradition says that at the end of the parade, you have to get a flower from the saints statue which has a bunch of them installed in its altar, so you are assured to have work during the year. Well, this tradition that sounds pretty gets pretty animalistic as people jump over the crowd to try to get one of these miracle flowers. Very cute... anyways, this time the article showed up in the newspaper but not on the Web page, contraty to yesterday. So you cant read it... I know, you are sad... you were really begging for an article on San Cayetano.... but oh well, I cant really help you....... lol........ have a good one.
update:
Im stupid and I found the link to my tiny tiny article... here it goes
