It was like an amusement park but on a farm with lots of activities to do. Unforgetable. Here is the link if you want to know more about it:

FAREWELL RAMONA

Ramona came to Spain with her husband and her two children about a decade ago. She wanted to start a new life far from her homeland, Rumania, with lots of hopes. She found a home in Cogolludo, where most neighbours loved her almost immediately. She was friendly and helpful. Ramona took care of my mother for one Summer. Andra used to come with her every day. I taught her to play Parchís and La Oca and she gave me lots of tales for Sergio. This Summer as soon as my mother arrived, she came to visit us. Luciano played football with Sergio in my parents'  garden under the lime tree. She was a hard-working smily woman. I met her at Guri's shop at the end of the Summer and she asked me about my Mum and the kids. Had I known it was the last time I talked to her, I would have embraced her and told her how adorable she was.

She had a heart attack on September the 26th and I only knew about it yesterday. She will be buried today in her homeland and we all wonder why fate can be so unfair at times. She was only 35 and had two teenagers who are too young to lose a mother. Farewell, Ramona, wherever you are. We'll miss you so much.
