Bear-faced in Barcelona
December 3, 2012
OH HAI, I’M BACK IN BARCELONA!

BEAR WITH ME!
Three monkeys we found up a tree and a woodland creature of the forest floor
OH HAI, I’M BACK IN BARCELONA!

BEAR WITH ME!
Gooses!

Bye bye gooses.

On the way back to Barcelona, Riu stopped off in Zaragoza to revisit the caballito they have there.

You might recall her riding this caballito in the heat of the summer - she wrote about it here: Caballito in Zaragoza.
Winter is here.

OH HAI. WELCOME BACK TO ZZZARRRRRRAGOZZZZZA!

Wearing my Mama’s Chanels…

Take me home to Barcelona.
Apart from friaries, monastaries, synagogues, mosques, cathedra, and other assorted religious venues, there are also a lot of churches in Toledo.

Writing about Toledo, Miguel de Cervantes said that it was “the glory of Spain and the light of her cities.”

Writing about Toledo, James Joyce said that “a good puzzle would be to cross Toledo without passing a church.”
We took secular sanctuary in the art gallery.

Riu went to Toledo to visit a city named after her Papa’s first car. It was a triumph - the visit and the car.
Here she meets Cervantes.

She’s a huge fan; she’s head over heels about him.

Windmills on the horizon…

Riu plays the part of Don Quijote. Rebecca plays the part of Rocinante.

Post-battle calm…

The day at Consuegra was the highlight of our mini-tour of southern Spain.
