With only four more sleeps before we fly to Spain, I think I might repack just one more time. The last few days I have been adding and subtracting from the packing pile. I know less is always better, but I just might need that extra…(fill in the blank with anything unnecessary). Spain actually might have a store or two if I really need something. 

After stops in Vancouver, Toronto, and Frankfurt, we arrive in Seville on the 24th of March. We will spend four nights in Seville before heading out to do the Via de la Plata to Santiago de Compostella . From there we will back track on the Primitivo and then, if time permits, continue on to Madrid. I will have my bike Friday and Gord will walk. 


I have tested my art kit to make sure I like my new sketch book, which I made myself, this time. I drew the view from the promo shot of the apartment we will be staying at in Seville. 
I’m so excited!

    Your posts are front and centre in my Inbox, where they belong!

    I read something recently, didn’t make a note of it, about how mental health improves simply by going to different places and seeing different things, even in your own home town. The exertion/exercise is less important than the variety. That must be why travelling is so good for your brain. Even if your IQ does go down 20 points on holiday! (I read that on the Internet, so it must be true.) :-)))

    I’m interested in your art kit. Would you mind showing us what you take with you to do the beautiful drawings you show us. Thank you.
