She sort of looks like Kristen Stewart, if Kristen Stewart lived … Continue reading Torres de Fals, on the way from Barcelona to Cardona – lunch included!
Manresa on a Top Fiver
This afternoon, after walking up streets and pathways to see recommended churches in Manresa, I stopped in a bar for an Estrella Damm and saw the Spanish version of "Wheel of Fortune." But I'm getting ahead of myself on the day's events. Better to start at the beginning. From our yoga retreat castle Anima Mundi in Canet … Continue reading Manresa on a Top Fiver
