CHARACTERS, SCENES & SETTINGS FROM DANCING IN THE FOUNTAIN

Dancing in the Fountain: How to Enjoy Living Abroad
Karen and Rich McCann, Dancing in the Fountain
Not the original fountain from the story, but another blazing hot night when we needed to cool off after dancing for hours under the stars.
Rich McCann, Seville, Spain, living abroad, retire abroad, expat life
Rich, looking debonair at the beginning of the party where we were later photographed dancing in the fountain.

Seville, Spain, living abroad, Dog, Eskimo Pie
Our dog, Eskimo Pie. For short she was Pie, Pi or 3.14159. She moved to Seville with us, where she discovered the joys of chorizo, elevators and a dog named Bruno.
Rich McCann, living abroad, retire abroad, snake, Cleveland, Ohio
Rich, wrestling with the five-foot snake we found on our bed.

The Setas, at Seville's Plaza de la Encarnación. Hideous monstrosity or bold new landmark? You be the judge.

Seville, Spain, living abroad, retire abroad, horse-drawn carriage, cabby sleeping
The kind of efficiency you have to admire about Spain: This cabby saved time by not traveling all the way home to take his siesta.

Seville, Spain, Feria de Abril, horses, living abroad, retire abroad, expat life
Everyone gets totally decked out for Seville's Feria de Abril, including the horses and their handlers.
Karen McCann, Seville, Spain, Feria de Abril, living abroad
Me with my friend Sarah at the Feria de Abril, wearing the traditional outfits and must-have giant roses pinned to the top of our heads.
Seville, Spain, Book, Bullfight Mexico
The bullfight in Mexico, shortly before the goring.
Rich McCann, Seville, Spain, living abroad, witness protection program?
That's my husband, Rich, on the left, with a short-lived but dashing beard. Next to him is our friend who places such a high value on his privacy that we've often wondered if he really is in the witness protection program. You'll meet him in the book under the assumed name L-F.
Pet travel, Seville, Spain, dog, living abroad, retire abroad
I'm not saying Pie was smart enough to read. Mostly she just looked at the pictures.
Seville, Spain, living abroad, retire abroad, expat life
The Mexican restaurant in Seville, where I once saw a patron change her baby in the stroller, then hand off the dirty diaper to the waiter, who whisked it away without demur. “Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘family-style restaurant,’ doesn’t it?” Rich said.
