We´re hoping to get photos uploaded! Terry got us on the wrong tour bus, but we wound up seeing so much - the birthplace of Teresa of Avilla and St. John of the Cross, which speaks to our spiritual disciplines. We went to Avilla and Segovia instead of Toledo. We toured several cathedrals in both cities and thoroughly enjoyed the day - we even had the same tour guide, Patriz, from yesterday. She said we could easily visit Toledo in a half day tour tomorrow and have the afternoon for the Prado Museum. We could easily just stay here! We try so hard to not look like tourists, but we do. We would both need far tighter clothing, espeically the jeans and I would need much higher heels!

Terry worked delivering furs to the Carmelite Nuns while he was at seminary in St. Louis. They did embroidery. He never saw them, only talked through a screen.

This contrast between ancient and modern struck us as interesting!

What a way to retire!
Hi, Terry and Susan, Amanda sent us a link to your travel blog..... We're glad you are having such a great time! I think y'all look just spiffy as "tourists- incognito." Live it up! Sheila
