April 24th 2017- Gibraltar

Today was a bit of a Rainy day, but I didn’t let that stop my from taking pictures.

This is Saint Michael’s cave, I remember that it was beautiful, but most of all, I remember all of the wild monkeys (Barbary macaque) hanging around outside.  Real talk, I think I have a very healthy fear of monkeys.  You will also notice that there are no monkey photos in this post, this is because I prioritized being alert over photography. In hindsight, I am still happy with that decision.  

This is the Europa Point lighthouse and I have to say that I loved wandering around taking pictures.  This trip I took a ton of lighthouse photos, and while the Ballycurrin lighthouse in Louth Corrib Ireland will always be my favorite, followed by the Thomas Point Shoal lighthouse in Annapolis MD, this trip included some spectacular lighthouses.  

Finally, I had to take some photos of the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque.  I have to say that religious architecture speaks to me, be it churches, synagogues, or mosques.   

It was a rainy day so I didn’t take a ton of photos, but I am happy with the photos that I took.  Til next time.

Love Always,

April 23 2017- Seville Spain

I loved my visit to the Casa de Pilatos, in Seville, Spain.  The tiling and the colors just called to me.

THis was one of the most intricate and beautiful churches I have seen in some time.  The statues and the ornate gates were amazing in the Cathedral Seville.

I was also lucky enough to see a flamenco show at the Museo de Baile Flamenco, and the show was amazing.  

At the end of today I was exhausted because it was just soooo HOT.  THat being said, the Plaza de Espana was amazing to see.

Love Always,

Meg

April 22nd 2017- Lagos Portugal

Today was the fourth day of my vacation and was just so great to be by the water.

I visited the Igreja de Santa Maria Church in Lagos, Portugal and the city square was beautiful.  I couldn’t take any pictures inside of the church but it was beautiful.

I can never pass up an opportunity to take a picture of a lighthouse, this is the Farol (lighthouse) Ponta de Piedade in Lagos Portugal.

Ponta de piedade, Lagos Portugal

I have a lovely wine tasting at the Quinta dos Vales in Estombar Portugal, I loved all the sculptures throughout the property and the wine estate was gorgeous.

Love Always,
