Today is actually a beautiful day. Weather is so perfect, you can even see the moon.
Last year in October, we were fortunate to visit friends in Spain. We stayed in Madrid, but ventured out to other areas. This is a little dish I bought that was handmade and painted in Segovia.
"Segovia is one of Spain's most famous historic cities. It is located in the Castilla and León region just half an hour's drive from Madrid. The collection of historical monuments, their conservation together with its beauty make this an impressive city to visit. It was delared a World Heritage Site in 1985."
"Some of the surrounding villages, entrapped in small valleys within the canyons of the River Doratón also have superb Roman historical monuments to see."
"The Aquaduct is Segovia's best known historical monument, clearly visible from the outskirts of the city. It was built towards the end of 1 A.D. It measures 800 metres and at its highest point it reaches 28 metres, in the la Plaza del Azoguejo. This impressive piece of Roman engineering has 166 arches and 120 columns on two levels. Until relatively recently it was still in use and is probably one of the best conserved Roman aquaducts in the world."
This is the restaurant where Yusef celebrated his 13th birthday.
It was certainly amazing to be in an establishment that has been in the same family for over 100 years.
I am thankful for all the countries I've been privileged to visit over the past many years. "The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." ~St. Augustine
Wishing you a day of blessings. Tammy

What a wonderful thing to live in a part of the world where there is hundreds or even thousands of years of history at your fingertips!! I love history & as you know USA is not very old at all compared to other parts of the world...
Have a Wonderful Day!!

What a rich education your children are getting. Wish I could tag along as a classmate. Had to take a double look at the castle...looks a bit like Neuschwanstein in Germany.
Thanks for the sweet comments about my posts. I do try to be a little different...sometimes crazy different...WOO-HOO!!!
Happy Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours ;-)
Oh how I enjoyed your photo trip. I would love to visit the other side of the world. That will probably never happen now. I have been blessed to travel a lot in the US and Caribbean. Thanks for asking, my birthday is not until Friday 27th. Always around Thanksgiving. My eldest son's birthday is on Thanksgiving this year. He will be 48. Doesn't seem possible. Blessings to you and your family.

Your so sweet Tammy for sharing this with us. I love coming over to your site. Oh these pictures make me want to go there. Someday maybe I will be able to travel. Thanks for always leaving me sweet comments. They really do mean a lot to me
Happy Thanksgiving

Tammy,
Such a lovely post and beautiful photos. :)
Your mention of the restaurant in the same family for over 100 years, makes me think of the little butcher shop in the square of Sierakow, Poland, that has been in my family for such a great length of time - at least 200 years... a heritage like that is really amazing I think .
Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family.

It amazes me that structures built that long ago still stand today. It boggles the mind.
Thanks for sharing your photos from Spain.

You are very fortunate to have traveled to so many areas of our world. The Spanish architecture and surrounding countryside is very beautiful! I hope you are having a nice week so far. Thank you for stopping by Bunny Cottage and for your kind comments. Much love to you! Vicki

Tammy,
I've heard that Spain is beautiful. My girlfriend studied Flamenco Dancing there for a whole summer. One day I will get there. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Turkey day and here's to hoping your kids get there bird...wink ~

What a beautiful little roadtrip that took us to Spain today. I never did get to see all the photos. Maybe you can invite me over sometime for some coffee and Renee's banana bread and show them to me. (hint, hint). Loved the Aquaduct is gorgeous. Reminds me of the castles I saw in Germany. That must of been exciting for Yusef to celebrate his bday in a different country...a moment to remember.
