View from Convento de Cristo once a Templar stronghold

From 18 to 64 degrees.  I'm happy as a clam.  Today was perfect.  Blue sky, soft breeze, birds singing and field flowers blooming.  Silly them.  The Fohn wind has come through bringing this respite from winter as well as a soft coating of powdery sand.  It won't last long and then it will be grey and damp again.  But for today I'm soaking in my vitamin D.


This is about 20 feet high.

Driving through Slovenia we stopped for a visit at the Postojna Caves, (http://www.postojnska-jama.eu/en/).  None of my photos can possibly do them justice so check out the website.  Every surface seems made of melting candles or sculpted marble.  It's amazing what a bit of calcium rich water dripping for thousands of years can do.

 To finish our trip we spent our last day in Venice as it was on the way back here.  I'll never get enough of that city.  Heavy sigh.  xxoo me
