We had several ideas about how to express the thought of narrowness. Ultimately we decided that the narrow streets of Spain best epitomized the effect. In the Jewish Quarter of Seville, the streets are called the “kissing streets” because of the way the buildings seem to lean towards each other as if leaning towards each other for a kiss.
We love connecting with new and different people from every place that we travel to. Some are brief encounters and others become long-term friends that we keep in touch with through social media. Clearly we believe that we’ve made several friends just by sharing our stories here on our blog site and we are thankful for each and every one of you. This week’s Discover Challenge is about shared journeys. We thought that we would use this post to express our gratitude to everyone who is sharing our journey as well as sharing theirs with us. Since we use photographs for the challenge, we chose this photo of our guide Remy, who shared his love for Bolivia with us and who we got to know during our brief stay and have continued to stay in touch with.
We haven’t participated in this challenge before, but when we were going through some pictures of Iceland the other day we came across a photo that seemed perfect. The purpose of this challenge is to show photographs that depict the roads, walks, trails, rails, and steps that carry us places. Iceland seemed particularly fitting since we spent so much of our time taking pictures from our rental car. This photo was taken when we stopped at Gullfoss Falls and climbed down these stairs to get a closer look at the waterfall.
We saw plenty of incredible scenery while driving, like the glacier off in the distance as we twisted and turned around the peninsula.
