Today is going to be mostly about Egypt. We first went to the Egyptian temple of Debod. It is in Spain not because there were ever any ancient Egyptians here but because Egypt gave it to Spain as thanks for help in the 1960's. The temple was started in the 2nd Century BC then enlarged and dedicated to the goddess Isis. Isis is a goddess that married her brother and they had a son with an hawk as its head. There are three stone gateways into the building. The temple is an UNESCO world heritage site, which mum really loves! Later we did homework at home for the rest of the day. We had paella for dinner. Thats all for today TTYL.

Cool! Today me and my family are in Seattle, and went to see the King Tut exhibit. Looks like you're having fun there!
ReplyDeleteHey Robin, nice to hear from you. It is fun but I am a little lonely here - want to visit?
DeleteThe Egyptian temple is amazing. I visited Madrid on a business trip way back when we lived in Boston in the late 60s. I remember going to the Prado Museum and seeing the promenades by families and lovers in the great parks of Madrid on Sunday afternoons After your excellent blogs I think we are oveerdue for a return to Espania.
