The town and I are both Caracenas.
February 1998
After giving an invited talk at the Asamblea
Hispano-Portuguese de Geodesia y Geofisica the week of 9-13 February 1998
at Aguadulce, Almeria, I visited the town of Caracena in the province of
Soria, Spain. Angel Rivera Perez, a friend from the the Instituto
Nacional de Meteorologia (INM) drove me to the town which is the probable
source of my surname. The river that runs by the village is called Caracena
also. Formerly it was known as the rio Adante.
