This week was a dry one for me- I didn't have many memories associated with any of these pictures. Maybe someone else has a memory that will trigger my memories....


The four kids sitting on a wall outside of Toledo, I think. I remember staying in a campground there in Toledo that really felt like it was in the middle of the town, so really the view from the campground was a lot like this- you saw old walls and buildings right outside the tent. And for some reason I remember an incredible yellow full moon rising while we were there in Toledo in the campground. Jenny

The only thing I really remember about Toledo is the letter opener knives that we got there. They looked like the swords that the toreadors would use in the bull fights. They used to sit in Daddy's desk in his room and we would play with them.

The fountains inside of the Alhambra.


Another Alhambra fountain.

The pictures of the Alhambra reminded me that when we were travelling around Europe, it seemed like all the major tourist attractions were undergoing renovations. The Alhambra was swathed in plastic, I seem to remember that the Sistine Chapel had scaffolding, and there were several others. Even the Statue of Liberty had been covered up when we went to New York the year before. We laughed and said that we were cursed. I guess we will just all have to go back and see the sights again.
