Remember the Donkey's?

Thanks to David for this amusing tale about the Spanish donkey souvenirs everyone took home with them....

No its not time just yet for the Bullfight? story I promised but rather I found this photo the other day... Who remembers the “Donkeys” they were so popular with some flights home having 20 donkeys along with the suitcases!! This shows a very young me presenting one at a party night as  a prize. At the beginning of the season I bought 60 yes 60 of them wholesale for the coming seasons prizes, I had to store them in my bedroom stacked on their sides one on top of the other, I used to wake up some nights with 120 luminous eyes looking at me, we won’t even go there regarding anyone coming back for a drink?
Get ready for the Bullfight saga!!! Coming next E Mail
Regards David

Marino's photos

Thank you to Mariano for sending these photos, and also for all the info with them. 

The 'Canaletas' hasn't changed one bit since Mariano took his picture back in the 70s, its still one of the prettiest looking bars in Lloret!

Mariano's info....Some pictures and propaganda, first photo, the wedding, the bride, she was working with me (Foto Lloses) taken photos in night club Rosamar,second pic, I took this picture of "Canaletas"without flash and without trípod and by my opinion, it is a very good picture, in the 70´s "Canaletas"was one of the bars more importants of Lloret, the terrace of the bar was the mirror of the small city, everybody had to cross the square, the black and white picture of the Londoner, is Mariano "again"with two dutch friends and a girl friend,hasta el próximo envio,un saludo de Mariano
