The joy of living has no age. The proof: a married couple residing in Orlando (USA) and that, when both are close to 80, they have crossed the pond to fulfill his dream of knowing the Sanfermines as a result of reading Ernest Hemingway During his childhood. “On Wednesday we saw the bullfight. Spectacular! Today we have seen the confinement. It is a dream come true” they said Timothy y Bertha Randolph. She, of Colombian origin, wore a blouse made by hand by the indigenous people of her country and both wore a straw hat with a red quote decorated by them back in Orlando and brought expressly to wear them in Pamplona. She, who has a private language academy, and he is the CEO and founder of a water filter company.
This Thursday, at the Alpargata dance, Bertha flaunted enormous sympathy and vitality. While her 78-year-old husband settled down and rested in a chair, she danced around her to the rhythm of reggaeton to the music of the peñas, which provoked more than one smile. About the experience, she was clear: “The best people. What service and how loving you are! We are delighted,” they said.
