We drove from Madrid to Avila, stopping on the way at the shrine of Our Lady of Sonsoles (two suns). This statue was also hidden in a wall when the Moors were on their way. When a peasant found it years and years later, she said it was shining, like two suns out of her eyes.
St. Josemaria also went on a pilgrimage here. And here is Avila
The room of St. Theresa
A statue of St. Theresa and her little brother
And not to leave out St. John of the Cross with his beautiful poetry
After lunch we drove to Segovia. Known for the oldest working aqueduct. Let me tell you, I loved it. As you can tell by the thousand photos that are about to follow...
The cathedral, which looks like it is made of lace
The two images of Santiago
We took the secret passage way through the city
St. John of the Cross again
And back in Madrid for the sunset
Sleepy Mama ready for pajamas
