Hooray … I’m happy to say the motion reaction is done as this may have been the best step-down process I’ve had. We returned last Friday, therefore Sunday and Monday were the most critical days. By the time I posted, I was on the homestretch of recovery. Thanks again for all the best wishes.
Since returning from the trip, besides the medical issue, I’ve been keeping busy. Instead of immediately returning to my normal posting routine, I hope to ease into the flow with some posts about the trip. I’ve got one ready for tomorrow.
While driving to the grocery store yesterday, I was listening to the Coffeehouse station on Sirius-XM (Channel 14) … and this song (that I’ve never heard) caught my attention. It was perfect because I loved Barcelona! Please enjoy this song by George Ezra along with the images of a city that captured my heart in many ways. In time, maybe I’ll do my own video to this song.
Stop by tomorrow for my celebration of Walktober. Have a good weekend.

I immediately had to listen to the song, because I got hooked on George Ezra’s Budapest the first time I heard it, even though I’ve never been there. So I wonder if he’s covers all major European cities in his songs.

Budapest is a good song … thanks for sharing it. I did a quick search, and it seems these are the only two cities he’s done … and I’ve heard wonderful things about Budapest!

Great pictures, Frank. Exotic places and different cultures, I submit, have an enduring appeal. I am invariably reminded of the old song popularized by The Duprees. (My favorite version is the one by Jo Stafford: https://youtu.be/zQfF84ackMM )
YOU BELONG TO ME
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
Ill be so alone without you
Maybe youll be lonesome too—and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till youre home again
You belong to me
