Great initiative

The summer is doing its best
to provide sunshine wherever it's needed and we on Gran Canaria fortunately have plenty of it. The Red Cross organizes from this monday till mid september and initiative to help handicaped people enjoy the beach as much as we do. The "leisure at the beach program" gives people with mobility problems the oportunity to take walk at the shore or a dip of the 'Las Canteras' beach in Las Palmas.
For those living in Las Palmas the program includes a "pick-up service" in the morning for those who need it and then from 11:30 till 16:30, several volunteers will help take care of them. Other activities are planed too, swapping the seashore with visits to different places of Gran Canaria.
Now that is one good news i think. Great guys!!

Tomorrow is the big day,
here on the isle, and everywhere else. The simpsons make it to hollywood in "The Simpsons Movie". The official release date is this friday (27/07/07) but some theatres will screen it tomorrow. This weekend was the pre-release in the small town of Springfield, in the US state of Vermont, who won the airing of this movie in their town after a voting contest with 13 other Springfields'.
Yesterday was the premiere in L.A.(California) with about 300 invited guests. The Simpsons as a show for its own celebrate this year their 18 years of airing, with 400 episodes yet aired in 18 seasons, but "the Simpsons-franchise" celebrate their 20th birthday since it first started to see the light in April 1987 in "The Tracey Ullman Show".
Whatever your age, sex, political orientation or religion is, i think this movie will be great!!
