ViaggiatoreVery cool pic love the castles. I could just see Bartholomew running around and enjoying himself with a few of his cousins that would’ve been a nice trip to go to with some of his Missouri cousins.
ViaggiatoreYes, it would be really cool to have Bart and his cousins explore these areas!
ViaggiatoreThere was no explanation at all about the picture, it just looked like Trans Jesus. I guess we were supposed to figure it out ourselves.

I heard the story of this astronaut on TV. did you ever heard of Erich von Däniken? His theory is that aliens visited us. This astronaut would be a hint for him. He would ignore the truth
ViaggiatoreIt was sculpted by Miguel Romero (a resident of Salamanca and not an extraterrestrial, as far as we know) in 1992 during a restoration that was carried out on the facade. Here's a link to read about it: https://shorturl.at/aCLW3
ViaggiatoreThat’s funny, Marlies, I think he probably HAS seen this photo and he’s already using it as proof for his wild theories. 😂 Of course, maybe aliens HAVE visited the Earth, but it doesn’t explain this particular astronaut. 😆

I really love the road with the blocks wrote that’s crazy about of labor work
ViaggiatoreYes, those are Portugal,’s famous cobblestone streets, they are quite attractive and a bit difficult to walk on. I’m not sure how much work they are to repair, but it does take quite a while to lay the streets down initially.
ViaggiatoreIt is hard to believe that there are so many places like that in this world and you guys are finding them all! So exciting and I’m happy for you
ViaggiatoreThis place really is like a Wonderland Nancy! And that’s before we went to Morocco, which has so many other scenes that look like a Wonderland straight out of Alibaba and the 40 thieves or Aladdin and his magic lamp!!
