One of Israel’s attractions is its closeness to Europe. Cyprus is 30 minutes by air, Greece less than two hours, and every other country no more than a domestic flight within the US. In recent years, we’ve chosen places that tweak our cultural and historical interests. My own views of historic cities are set against Jerusalem, and in seeing how other places take advantage of their histories or physical characteristics, and cope with whatever social issues are prominent. Every city has a history. Few are in Jerusalem’s league, but many emphaize something to make them attractive. Fall River hasn’t much more than Lizzie Borden, but the ditty and opera make her story and house into something.

Anyone who’s competed in a three-legged race will feel at home at the2016 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. “It will look a lot like a field day,” says Mary Linn, one of the festival curators. That’s because one of this year’s themes is “Basque: Innovation by Culture,” and sports are a big part of Basque communities, Linn says. (The other theme is “Sounds of California“)

Nació en Derio, se formó como futbolista en la cantera del Athletic de Bilbao, su padre es entrenador, al menos uno de sus tíos ha jugado de forma profesional y también se ha sentado en un banquillo. Además, su abuelo materno era tío del famoso jugador del Athletic Koldo Aguirre y entre sus antepasados se encuentra Juan Urquizu, exjugador y exentrenador del Athletic, que conquistó una Liga y 3 Copas en el banquillo de San Mamés. Con esos antecedentes, a Gaizka Garitano Aguirre (Derio, 1975) el destino le tenía reservado un lugar sobre el césped, primero, y en el banquillo, después.
