Kermesse
A kermesse is sort of like a church social, a carnival with food, games, entertainment. This one was a working class neighborhood coming together to raise money for a child's eye operation.
La kermesse era para sacar fondos para que un nin~o tener una operacion de su ojo.
I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade.
My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.
