San Lorenzo photos

Mike - thanks so much for sending those amazing photos of San Lorenzo (which it always will be named, as far as I'm concerned)!

On the way we stopped at some places I had visited in "the old days": Belchite, the Monasterio de Piedra, the Monasterio de Leyre, and Pamplona. I wrote about my second trip to Belchite upon returning to Charlottesville and posted it on a blog site along with photographs taken by Jone. I reprint (reblog?) it here for… Continue
