On the way out of P this morning I detoured to see the 12thC Castillo de los Templarios (pic, castle looking structure with human aside large dog). Amazing site. The history of the Knights Templar is fascinating and has inroads to modern culture in astounding ways.
Given that today was my bday, I strolled lazily and stopped for coffee more than necessary. Spanish coffee, unlike its perplexing dinner hour, will be sorely missed once I’m back home.
Detoured off-Way through picturesque vineyards that stretched on into the horizon.
V is nestled in a beautiful canyon drenched in Camino and church history.
I had a yummy, traditional dinner at a local hot spot.
My stroll home was energized by the movie-set like atmosphere and my family’s well wishes which I awoke to in the form of a bday video def rated PG-13 thanks to my rococo bro in law. (There are some things you can’t unsee)
Dense weekend of hiking ahead followed by mellow strolls to SDC. Can’t believe I’m so close already (8 walks left).
In light of all the joy ppl sent me, let me say…
Love you so, God bless—B
