Happy Birthday, Goddess!
Sorry your b'day was a cold one, but your new do is gorgeous--until I saw your photo, I was afraid you were going to be a bit Trump-like, but no, goddess is correct! Brilliant to do day trips there since it's so wonderful to not have to schlep your packs to new places. Pretty funny seeing the real, the oldest of the four lances of Christ and hey, better than tattered rugs and shards, eh? (I saw three Holy Grails in Spain--woo hoo!). While the cascades may be a monstrosity, the tyre lion (love anything recycled) and the Boteros are fab (I plan to wallow in the latter in Colombia). Best wishes on a 13-hour bus trip!

Shelley wasn't happy with her hairdo because they didn't foil her hair to the roots at the top, but it seems that the two toned hairdo is the thing here and perhaps everywhere as we have been away for a while, so she tells me, but what do I know. I hope that is a good hint that you are off to Colombia, because once you get there you will probably never leave, wish we could meet you there. The Tyre lion was so amazing we just wished we had written the artists name down, will need to google that one as it was stunning.
