I have many wonderful memories of our time together and would really love […]

Greetings from Spain….wish you were here! Photo above taken in the hill-top town of Ronda, Spain. We stopped at Ronda during a ten day road trip through southern Spain. I was awestruck by the beauty of this village, perched a top a huge hill with striking views of the ravine and countryside. Unfortunately it rained cats and dogs all day long and the lovely village was like a ghost town. However, it did provide us with excellent views of the […]

June 27, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Greetings from the southern tip of Spain…wish you were here! This photo was taken in May 2004 at the Rock of Gibraltar in Spain. The Rock of Gibraltar is an unusual place located at the southwestern tip of Spain. The rock in itself is made of limestone and launches well over 1,000 feet tall into the sky. What makes this place so different is twofold. First, it is actually part of the United Kingdom (the sovereignty was transferred to the UK from Spain […]
