A while ago I blogged about the disturbances in Sucre. Today I found a video on YouTube that was filmed while they were taking place.
It’s a strange feeling to see fights and smoke in streets that are familiar to me!
Die Auferstehung
March 26, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Die Auferstehung is the German word for the Resurrection – the event in the New Testament that is celebrated at Easter.
The term refers to the resurrection of Jesus three days after he was crucified and is the central theme in the Christian faith.
Indeed, it is quoted in the Glaubensbekenntnis (statement of faith) in Catholic Church services.
One of the relevant passages in the New Testament is Matthew 28:1-10, but the resurrection leads on to other events to be found in the Acts of the Apostles, such as appearing to two travellers on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).
It is a complex topic, which the podcast can only introduce at this stage. More detailed information can be found in Wikipedia: English | German.

Spring is here – and so is the new guide book!
March 24, 2008 By 1 Comment
Last year I wrote about a free guide book to Lanzarote that was available online. Now an updated version has appeared for the spring months.
The 104-page guide book is available as a download free of charge from the site lanzaroteguidebook.com and contains up-to-date information with ideas on things to go and places to visit, as well as vital information such as bank opening hours, driving tips and emergency phone numbers.
In addition to the download, 10,000 copies are being distributed to visitors, free of charge, via local car hire companies and tourist information offices on the island. But if you are planning a visit to the island this year, then I recommend that you download it before you go so that you can start planning your holiday right away.
