On change

It's been a long time since I posted anything. It's partly from not being satisfied with my own writing. Though that never stopped me entirely. It's more because there hasn't been anything that I've been terribly excited about. Until now.

The world has changed. Change has come to Europe. Change has come for Greece. And we're all going to feel it. The ancien régime is gone. The Berlin Wall has fallen.

Viva Syriza. And what courage!

There is a lesson for us. Courage comes from conviction. And conviction from faith. Center on what you believe and act on it. Don't let anything stop you.

Bobbin Work Lace

I don't remember where we were.  Someplace between two other places.  We stopped at a castle that had been taken over by a local crafts group.  This woman was making bobbin lace.

A wine bar; what else? Also a winery tour.




And then another tour later.

Barcelona

Financial crisis? What crisis? To an outsider everything seems wonderful. The streets are full, the bars are full - food is as good as before. It's just as I remember. There are more independence banners than before, but I expected that too.



We visited the Sagrada Familia, Parque Gruell - the tourist stuff. And I only got lost a little bit.
