Visions of Spain

Cadiz, the oldest continually inhabited city in Western Europe, they say.



The towers of the Alcazar...Isabella's castle.



Segovia, the most beautiful city in the world!



Me at Los Retiros Parque in Madrid.

"Taste of Spain"

Another...

Overlapping the Spaniards a bit was my dear friend Alecia from the 7th grade! I've loved having "my twin" back with me for a couple of nights.

What a weekend!

Maki, Nacho, and Antonio arrived safely on Thursday night. They are Emily's friends from her time in Spain. On Friday the fun began - we tried to cram in as much Americana as we could - they toured the President's house, we had a bbq dinner on the wagon bed at the farm, we went to the fair, we had a big 'ol Southern breakfast, we hiked to the falls, then we had a cookout at the mt. cabin!! GREAT fun. Now we have a good reason to return to Spain.

International Travel

The Spaniards are to arrive today - but at the moment they are lost somewhere in Midway, TN. Brad, Emily, and Sara are here, anyway, as well as Gracie and Pumpkin, the cats. Ada is faring as well as can be expected with the whole routine. lol. My best friend from 7th grade is supposed to show up sometime this weekend as well. More updates on the scintillating adventure as it transpires.

August 6th

Good news all around today!
Dad's back up on the tractor!
Rhonda's house is being framed!
Butternut the bunny's leg is healing nicely!

These are all causes for rejoicing!



What else today? I've been scattered around the park taking photos for the National Park Conservation Association report - of which we scored higher than any other park!! I learned what Dallis grass is, and I'm in lively communication with a fellow in New York over a piece of John Lennon's artwork!

It's an exclamation day!!
