Avila




Avila - city walls! We are as usual in the older parts of the city. The walls are amazing from both outside looking up at them and on top walking around. However will have to cull out many photos of them - how many do you need for goodness sake! But Avila has been a wonderful stop, slightly slower paced and a great place to explore. Unfortunately my sense of direction has not improved at all throughout our trip and I am often bewildered as to which direction I should be moving in. Many of the touristy maps do not include all streets/lanes/alleyways so it is easy for me to lose where I am heading by turning off too soon. The cathedral was amazing like others we have seen. I can see how you get cathedraled out! Each one is stunning but your expectations change with that and it becomes a little ho-hum. Photo depicts not just the wall but also travelling with David. We are trying to establish systems so that I don’t lose him while he is stopping.
