“Carry me caravan take me away,
silver and gold in the mountains of Spain.”
Thank you Madrid for welcoming refugees!
Jesus fue un refugiado.
Somos todos los refugiados!
Cheers to you from warm & welcoming Spain~

Bonjour CINDY et bon week-end de Pentecôte
En cette nouvelle soirée
Comme un oiseau de tendresse
Je viens te chanter mon bonjour
Comme on chante les belles histoires
Je te peints mes pensées à l’encre de mes mots
Comme on peint les jolis tableaux
Je te dessine le contour de mes plus beaux sentiments
Comme on dessine l’innocence à travers les yeux d’un enfant
Je t’ai écris ces quelques lignes nappées de bonheur
Comme on écrit les plus beaux souvenirs
Je te souhaite une bonne soirée . avec des petits bisous
AMITIE
Bernard

I may have shared how foolish I was as a teenager going to Spain and Portugal, Cindy. Took a camera, bought some postcards and Lladro figurines and have very little in the way of memorabilia!
I absolutely loved the churches and cathedrals but your photos create more than memories, they foster a longing to go back there! Smiles and hugs, Robin xo

That is so good to see that poster! Spain has a heart. Here in Aracena the local people still take children for a holiday who live around Chernobyl so they can get cleaner air! I think that disaster was 1986.
