A big welcome to readers of Craig Shamp's site.

Just a quick explainer. I'm a U.S. citizen, who lives Spain, an ex-pat for over 13-years, a journalist, married to a Peruvian and with three little "Gils", a Catholic convert from the Anglican church, an ex-freelance bullfighing photographer, bla, bla and bla. All to say, I seek to find a little different twist to some of the news, mix it in with some "cultural notes" of what it's like to live in Spain as a truly multi-cultural family, as well as sprinkle that with some off-beat stories, news, and religious items. Trust you enjoy.
