Changing time zones affects sleep. In this case, it is daytime in Houston so my “sleep” was more like a series of naps. I'd get an hour nap and wake up refreshed, like a power nap. Force myself to sleep and wake up again after an hour and a half. This went on all night. Despite the broken sleep, I was ready for a full day of sightseeing! We started at Asakusa, the spiritual heart of Tokyo. Click to join us on our adventure!
After a brief break to get my health in order (sort of), we’re off… Yesterday we flew from Houston to Minneapolis and on to Haneda, Japan. It’s a quick trip to drop my granddaughter off with her other Japanese family :-) Keep in mind, day one we were running on zero sleep! (I’ll catch up on the rest of the Spain trip upon my return)
Cathedral day! It's time to explore the inside of Cathedral de Segovia. I felt so small as I stood in front of the Doors of San Frutos. It is at this very door that each year on October 25th, a festival takes place. On the eve of the festival, hundreds of locals gather here for the traditional enactment of turning the page signifying one more year in the book of life… Come join us as we walk through this architectural beauty!
Today is dedicated to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Segovia Aqueduct. Used in the Coat of Arms for Segovia, this immense structure is host to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the symbol of Segovia. What an impressive structure! Check out our adventure in Segovia, home of the beautiful Aqueduct!
Right in the center of the main square is the Rotterdam Library… such an awesome building!
It’s always exciting to find your favorite olives! These Nocellara (aka Sicilian Queen) Olives are a specialty of Jamie Oliver. Little did we know just outside our door, they sat waiting for us to discover! It’s also exciting to share our favorite travel spots with family and friends. See who stopped by for a week of adventure…
Sometimes the nonrev life can be challenging… especially when the airport closes!
