Let's vote !

This is another grey Sunday. Incredible but true…It’s been nearly one month now of dull, rainy weather. This morning, I make an effort to get up reasonably early, have my breakfast and put some clothes on, very quickly. I take the 11am bus to go to Granada. I am going to vote at the Maison de France. It is the first round of French presidential elections. Granada is fun on Sunday mornings, lots of people strolling. The Granadinos are having their “café con leche” or going to mass in their nice Sunday clothes. There is a book market on plaza Fuente de las Batallas. I buy a gallery catalogue of Catalan painter Grau Sala for 1€. At 12h30 am, I have already voted. Once at home, I connect myself to the French newspaper “Libération” website and learn that at 12h am, the participation rate already reached 31,21%, (source : Ministry of the Interior) which is quite an increase compared to last elections in 2002. By the time I send this note, it’s nearly 8 pm and I am very impatient to know the results…
