Why? You may ask. Well my bride and I just returned from a little trip to celebrate 32 years together. We visited six countries in the western Mediterranean including putting a foot on the African continent for a day. We traveled by jet, taxi, large and small buses, train, cruise ship, small boat, and we pounded a lot of cobblestone pavement along the way. In fact, I wore out a pair of shoes in Tunis, Tunisia. The soles were flapping by the end of the day like a flat tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along the way, we visited Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, Andorra and the Vatican. Below are a few pictures out of the several thousand we took. We had four cameras going! I shoot videos, and Sandi does the stills. The pics below are all ones she took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highlight of the trip? For me, it was not the Vatican, or the French Riviera or Barcelona. Not Pisa or Florence, Pompeii and Vesuvius or Sicily. Not Andorra or the Pyrenees. Not the Coliseum, the Roman Forum in Rome or the Sistine Chapel or the Vatican Museum or even climbing to the top of the Dome of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica. No. As great as these things were, what blessed me the most was slowing the pace down a bit and savoring life in the company of my wife, and experiencing the food and culture of Italy and the exploring the quaint back allies of the Old City and savoring the little things that are often overlooked in the mad pace of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it&#8217;s back to work, and the USA with its mass shootings (been home only a three days and there has been almost one a day so far), pudding eating Biden, the uni-party childishness of the Republicrats and Democans, and constant trans-trope with their alphabet soup of sexual perversions being crammed down our gullets. Oy vey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh well, it is what it is, and may Yah give us the strength to stand firm for him until our ultimate redemption which draweth nigh comes from above with healing in His wings to straighten out this mess below and give rewards to is disciples. HalleluYah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please enjoy a few pics hopefully to get our minds on some better things for a moment or two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2918.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2918.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2918-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Nathan taking a photo of Europe&#8217;s largest palm tree located in the Rome Botanical Garden.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Florence-Duomo2235.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Florence-Duomo2235.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Florence-Duomo2235-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Florence-Duomo2235-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Florence-Duomo2235-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Sandi and Nathan in front of  the Duomo of Florence, Italy.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_1883.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_1883.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_1883-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_1883-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_1883-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><strong>When finished, this minor basilica\u2014La Sagrada Familia\u2014will be the second largest church in the world after St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica in Rome.
