My Final Day
Well, it is finally here. The end of my wonderful trip. It has had many incredible moments as well as difficult ones. I am very glad to say that I had this experience. It has truly been amazing. I don't know if I could do it all at once again. I hope to spend more time in a few places next time. The Tour De France was riding through Barcelona today, so traffic was crazy. It was exciting to see. On the day I arrived in London Wimbledon began and now as I leave I get to see the Tour De France. Today I made it to Sagrada Familia. I have been wanting to see this cathedral since I saw it on tv during the 1992 Olympics. It was truly worth the wait. My eyes teared up as soon as I walked around the corner and saw this magnificent piece of architecture. I want to thank all of you for reading my blog and sending your comments. I have missed everyone and will be sad to leave Europe, but also very very very excited to come home.

Oh Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI thank you for sharing your trip with us with such wonderful posts and pictures that helped me to understand what you were seeing and doing! I don't think I'll ever get to Europe myself so to visit it through someone else is a treat for me! I am so glad you made this soujourn - I'm sure it has held much in the way of lessons and perspectives on so many levels!!! We have missed you and I can't wait to give you a 'welcome home' hug! : )) Thank you for sharing your trip with me! Save travel home...

ReplyDeleteWe can hardly wait to see you! Of course I am writing this about the time you will be arriving! What can I say? The cathedral is superb. Do you think you have begun to even take it all in? Mom and I are excited to see you.
