I agree with @agmoore - this destination seems to have brought out the poet in you! But then that's what I have always appreciated about your writing, @azircon - you're always a suprise.
I can't recall if I've been to Ronda before to be fair - I think I might be thinking of Montepulciano or some other Europoean cities and towns built on the edges of cliffs. Some truly astounding locations. Certainly it would have been a long time ago, and I've put it on the list should i ever escape Australia again. The photos are just stunning and I'm pained with absolute jealousy and very, very itchy feet.
Thank you. You said the same at one of my post during my Japan trip last year.
After my surgery I progressively feel that I have an expiration date. I am at peace with it but I also feel I don't have enough time to see all the things I wanted to see.
So I have been traveling more.
People say Ronda is where Santiago might have started his journey so since my college days I wanted to visit Ronda. I am glad to find that it indeed is a special place.
We are heading off to Arches and Canyonlands NP. It was my wife's PhD thesis area and also my old stomping grounds. Want to show the girls what mom and dad used to be when they were young! :) Lots of memories there.
They were there before but don’t remember as they were little, hopefully this time they’ll remember it.
This was the girls in 2016 at Canyonlands you can perhaps see the Shafer Trail below. Back in the days my wife and I used to “commute” there.
