Finally, the doctor gave me (Nina) an official "go" - and here we went, travelling again - this time together (Markus went on his own to Thailand in January - but this was too risky for me). After 3 abdominal operations in 2012 I got kind of a "new" life - and it was no question that travelling will be part of my second life.

A new life in the pueblos blancos
First, congratulations on your healed abdomen and new life. It must have been scary to think that you, such an inveterate traveler, might have to give up a life of adventure. Then, how great to visit these adorable little pueblos blancos in Spain--Competa sounds like a dream. Glad you've got your traveling legs back on--bravo!

Nina happy

Thank you!
Hi Dave, Thanks a lot! Oh yes, we are indeed happy and it is great to hear that one can notice it in my writing (even though it is not my mothertongue ;-)). My illness has changed a lot. Even though nothing will be good again, I now feel better than before. Well, when you have had a near-death experience, you see things in life differently. Happy and safe travels to you! Nina

"A new life"
Congratulations on good health. Not something to be taken for granted. But, you've done the right thing and hit the road to explore. Again, we can't tell you how happy we are that you are feeling better and your word descriptions convey the excitement, relief and appreciation that come after those trying times. Your blog makes us want to book the next flight to the adorable locations you have described. Please have a cerveza for us....with your toes in the sand. How lovely to picture.

Cerveza
Dear Dave & Merry Jo, oh yes, we will have a cerveza thinking of your nice words - still looking for a stretch of sand to place our feet ;-). It makes me very happy that I could put my feelings into my words even though it is in english. Thanks a lot for your comment. Hopefully, you can soon book your next flight - and hope to see you soon. All the best, Nina
