Also Kevin often waits until the view is clear to take the pictures. We did say to each other though when we were walking through the village up to the castle in ruins that there was hardly anyone around. Trust us, there are people around, we have seen them. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-66527982390741117622016-11-12T02:26:02.881-05:002016-11-12T02:26:02.881-05:00It would have been amazing if the sun had been out...It would have been amazing if the sun had been out!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51158384396327585232016-11-11T21:28:55.206-05:002016-11-11T21:28:55.206-05:00I am amazed at the places you find.
