It is nice to see someone who despite carrying the burden of knowledge of evil perpetuated on a mass scale, can at the same time revel in beauty, the wonder of discovery, and the pleasures of immersing oneself in different cultures. Finding balance like that is important

It is so fitting you were in Fatima. Our Lady of Fatima is a huge warrior for us in this spiritual battle. Thank you for sharing pictures, those of us who can't travel need that beauty to keep us inspired!!!!

Oh, Jessica, these photos are a feast for the eyes and heart . . . thank you, thank you for sharing them with us! I'm so very glad you had the inspiration to convert an airline problem into such a splendid road trip. And belated Happy Birthday wishes to you as well. That celebration, too, looks lovely and memorable. You SO deserved ALL of this!

Great photos! Toledo is a beautiful maze, quite easy to lose your way at night.

Beautiful photographs. I think I know where the arial photo of the lagoon is, not far over the French/Spanish border, fairly close to Lleida. We have driven past it.

Greetings from Andalucía.

Oh, my world!! Enjoyed my walk through your breathtaking photos! If my mother could still paint (she’s 102) she would make your photos into paintings. Excellent. Happy birthday!

Jessica, what a pity! We missed out on each other by a couple of weeks when I traveled Spain in late September. I don't mean to sound creepy but you're sweet and I have a little crush on you (gosh, that sounds creepy). Nevermind, you're a heroine :-) Best regards from Germany from a big fan and admirer of your solid work to shine light on the darkness! You're brave!
