This Week in Pictures



Is it really time for another photo of the week post? The weeks have just been flying by - but I guess that tends to happen when you visit 7 countries in one month. I'm finally heading home - I've loved my time in France and Spain and especially loved hanging out with friends, but all my clothes are smelly, I miss my own bed, and I want to take a really good shower with something other than hotel bottles of shampoo.

This week was especially cool and it's going to be tough picking one picture as my favorite. The week started out with Barcelona and more La Merce activities, then Madrid for a couple of days of eating, drinking, sight-seeing and flamenco, on to Granada for Moroccan food and the Alhambra. And finally we finished up the week in Paris.

And the winner is...

The Louvre, Paris early in the morning

Some great pictures from Spain
Madrid Palace
Olives growing in the Spanish countryside - all the little dots on the hills are olive trees
La Alhambra, near Granada

    I admire people who take photos. I can roam around a full day and forget that I have a camera in my hand. Your photos are beautiful and though my wish is to visit the places you have been to, I am happy I was able to see them through your lens.

A Day in the Life

Quote of the Week

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.
