We keep thinking we will go see the tourist cities like Madrid and Barcelona and Seville, but actually there is so much interesting history right here in the northwest corner of the country that we drive all around here instead.

But, luckily we eat fish and seafood and cheese.

We didn't know anything about it before we came, but apparently there's a strong Celtic past here. They actually have cultural exchanges with Ireland.<br /><br />Lynda, I never realized how much I would love traveling. My family moved quite a bit when I was growing up, so I never thought I would. Now I just love coming here, and also going to India with my husband to visit family. It makes for such a wider world.<br />Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-85929660122441577372012-10-11T16:49:31.629-07:002012-10-11T16:49:31.629-07:00This sounds soooo wonderful!

Glad you enjoyed the post.<br /><br />Saumya, yes, food is a challenge for a vegetarian if you don't eat fish or seafood. Luckily we can, but even then, we have to pick and choose carefully when we go out. But the neighbors here are so lovely and kind, and the people so open-hearted. Every time we come we feel so happy.<br /><br />Nick, that's true. I've been to Bath and just loved it; I spent nearly a whole day there. I'm longing to go to York, too.
