O.K. Sorry for being late. Here is mine.
It`s the begining of Don Quixote de La Mancha, by Cervantes. It´s written in old Spanish.
Congrats for your challenge Luci.
Here is the original translation..."In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing..."

You know? I think exactly the same with you.
So artistic and beautiful handwriting!! I really like it. :) and I can read that you're a resolute person. Am I right? :)
I guess Both countries have somehow family ties, right? :)
Thanks for your comment, it's always cool seeing you around.
Classic piece of writing never goes out of fashion. It's so original of you to share your handwriting with your old language. Our school curriculum here used to have a Spanish subject but it was replaced with other subject. Thank you for sharing this!
Actually I miss the times when some letters I received were handwritten regardless its beauty. Now in their almost entirety I just receive boring letters from companies or miserly banks.
Thanks for dropping by Saba, it's always nice seeing you.
Hello Estanis!
Your handwriting is beautiful and legible!
I enjoy reading legible and neat handwritings, but when I have to read sloppy and illegible handwritings, I'm so angry that may tear it :)
Hello again my devastatingly handsome* neighbor! (*I loved that Jade! hahaha)
Oh well, you didn't have to translate it yourself... that's what's google for! hahaha

But, joking aside, don't think that would be like 'cheating', because transcription can be also as good english exercise as reading (includes reading + transcription, so you can remember better the words (vocabulary) and its context) But anyway, sorry for being so 'demanding' with you, you know the spanish saying "la confianza da asco" hahaha
Oh, but don't think that people 'do what I say' as you said... It's just that you're too nice and you keep making the mistake to listening to what I say XD
Thanks again for your Quixotic handwritten! ^_^
O.K. Thank you so much everyone. Not kidding now :)
My neighbor Mary,
You know how to bug me to react like you want, eh!? Will I ever learn from my own mistakes? :/
Well the point here is showing our handwriting so I just wrote the first thing that came to my mind and since I'm from the Quixote land... voilà!
P.d. Soy malo en traducciones y más en castellano antiguo, no me hagas hacer horas extras ;)
Dear Kaly,
I,m so glad to see you here, well thanks God we both have a common language to communicate each other. Looking forward to hearing from you again my friend :)
God bless you.
Oh... April, dear!
I told you Spanish is more romantic than French, so far I don't feel any emotion writing French, maybe that s the reason of such message :D
You know you have the best teacher to teach you Spanish dear.
P.s. Still thinking of that coffee by the lake ;)
Luci,
Surely I'm the only one who haven't told you have amazing ideas here. Your kids and hubby must be proud of you. Be proud of yourself too o.k.? Thanks for encouge us and make this site friendly and lively.
Btw, of course not. This is not the handwriting of old people. As for your mention of Quixote, yes I admit I have a little bit of his spirit, although who is not crazy sometimes?
Hello Shoba,
This is how it starts the most famous book written in Spanish but translated into many languages. No misterious at all, but I'm not skilled enough to translate old Spanish into English. Anyway I'll bear in mind posting something in English next time :)
Hello Risty,
I see you like classic ones, good! Classics never dies haha...
Btw, hope no hard feelings towards Spaniards :)
Thanks for dropping by.
Oh my!.. Jade,
You made me speechless. Now I remember when I was a brat and the most beautiful girl in the class hold my hand to go to the playground, I didn't know what to say.
So you can really see that!? Wow... I wonder why my wife doesn't tell it me at least once a year :/
btw, no misterious backgroud at all, I have nothing to hide.
I'm overwhelmingly thankful :p (Still blushed)
Hi Adaline,
It's always a pleasure seeing you around spreading your positivity. Hope our Catwoman pay attention to your comment too, this cat is good at translating.
Hi Afro,
... and it's very nice such reply coming from you. Thanks for reading. Best of wishes.
Dear Evan,
Hmmm... and I didn't expect less from my funny talkative but demanding friend.
O.k. Your wish is my comand. Anyway you're right, I should have written the translation. That's why posting blogs in a hurry is not a good idea.
Thanks for your suggestion too.
Hello Elf,
Don't worry, as I've just replied Evan, I'll do. My fault.
Wow Elen...!!
Is that really you!? Loooong time no see you. Glad that you like Spanish and my handwriting but... really men scrawl? Lol... well, I guess there's everything in everywhere, no? You know, I learned a little Greek at college although I was really bad at it haha... too difficult to me.
Thanks for you reply my friend and so glad to see you here :)
Hi AG!
C'mon...! Will you tell me you don't like a human touch to create a misterious romantic atmosphere? I'm sure you've tried too, right? Lights are not always necessary :D
Apart from this I'm not keen on making photos like you do. Thanks for your time :)
Hi Noas,
Thank you for your compliment dear cat :)
Hi Annah,
Glad that you like it too. As I replied before, I'll post the translation.
Thanks for dropping by.
