Alcala de Henares is not just a world heritage town, but it is also home to 200 storks, or inhabited nests, I am not sure anymore. Those storks have their own emergency team, a nest fixing team, and their own administration. The offspring migrates every year, as storks are supposed to do, but the old ones got lazy. At the nearby trash dump food is available all year round. Captivated by the storks sounds, and the massive shades of their wings on the walls, I miss some of the information. The guide tells about a stork lady that is already 29 years old and has had many husbands - he has my attention again. They sometimes use trash to build their nests - looks like decoration to me. Finally, when I see poop on Joe`s shirt, I get to ask what stork poop looks like. The guide thinks it was a pigeon, a stork would be double the size. Joe, a friend, still feels lucky.
