Girona m'enamora

As the train approached Girona, snow covered mountains came into view in the distance. Strolling around the cobbled streets near the river and through the Jewish quarter there was a calm and sense of peace that's hard to find in busy Barcelona. We climbed up through beautiful gardens up onto the the ancient walls of the city and enjoyed our picnic lunch sitting on top of the city with panoramic views and brilliant sunshine.

My friend Zipporah and I found the square outside the Cathedral and sitting under the sun in the shadow of this vast building I caught sight of the date 1733 written on the front. This building is 256 years older than me and it's still there. Generations move on passions and trends change; fashions and customs move on, different countries have their own languages, people, history, culture but some things are bigger than time, language barriers and georgaphical borders.
