Birthplaces of Our Heritage: The Mediterranean

Knowing that the third book in my Loyalist trilogy was launching in November, my husband and I planned a wonderful cruise for a couple of weeks beforehand. The story is in the pictures:

med17 — In Florence, the Ponte Vecchio across the Arno was a photographer’s delight and we had to jostle for position. Well worth it.

Sagrada Madre in Barcelona — Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, always under construction. Fabulous testament to the absolute need for people to build monuments to their gods. Very beautiful.

Of course we saw the leaning tower of Pisa but didn’t know about the beautiful church right beside it. Lovely.

High up on the Isle of Capri we could see the shades in the water.

And the powerful volcano, Mount Etna, in the distance. — And the powerful volcano, Mount Vesuvius, in the distance.

And here rests Princess Grace in the lovely church visitors are welcomed at no charge. — And here rests Princess Grace in the lovely Monaco Cathedral where visitors are welcomed at no charge.

And now we’re back home with wonderful memories of our Mediterranean cruise. The Loyalist Legacy is launched and we can revisit our two week holiday with the pictures and our memories. Just what a good holiday should do for us!
