AS I NEVER TAKE A WALK WITH A TURTLE... #1

As I never take a walk with a turtle, sometimes I need to have a pause and change my routine, completely. From time to time, I like the pause that being away from Facebook and blogging allows me. During the recent one, I didn't stand still and let time passing by. Such an attitude is not my cup of tea, at all. On the contrary, each day was different from the other.  A journey in Spain was part of my fun, with a visit to a tiny spa town located near Zaragoza, province of Aragon, Spain. From there, I moved to Madrid, and went to Santander Financial City on which golf course I spent very enjoyable hours. This is a story to be posted later...




The ambience was created of the passed times that one normally can see on old photos. It was almost like a time travel


 




Why and what for have the two boys' heads been decapitated?

Monastero de Piedra

    1. Hi Mitch! I really loved it not only for the company of my golf fellows but also the possibility of being away from Lisbon, which I always like. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

  3. What lovely pictures. I too wonder why the boys have no heads. Vandalism or just wear? The monastery de Piedra is beautiful, and shown off well without the cars, and yet the picture of the cars remind us of where and when we are. You remind me that I should get out more often and go to places that fascinate.

  4. Hi Benni! I think the headless boys resulted from vandalism. If so, it was a true pity... The older I am, the more I enjoy being out of Lisbon.... Thanks for visiting and commenting....
