Incredible scenes from Lourdes, France, this summer. To this day this small town is beseiged each & every day by thousands of pilgrims. The roads even have special lanes for wheelchairs.
The world always looks brighter through the eyes of a 3 year old ... both my children complained about the noise (as they often do in life!) and indeed this year's Hastings Bonfire fireworks show was especially riotous/earsplitting. It was impressive but ended with the national anthem, which I thought weird ...
Few experiences in life beat being pounded and propelled by the sea. A hangover from LA living.
Yeah @Bodhi , "this was never about the money ... it was about the system ... the system that kills the human spirit ..."
My feeling on return to the Uk this autumn lol. Thanks @antoni_gaudi for creating the masterpiece that is the Sagrada Família. You almost make Christianity interesting...
