Pat Thanks for news of your Cadiz doings. I've recently been reading a fascinating book about Alexander von Humboldt, a great German naturalist, a couple of generations before Darwin.

re: CadizPat Thanks so much for news/photos of your travels . . . plenty of walking OK? I had never heard of Sintra! Fascinating entry in WP! I've done a little research on offloading my diesel Golf for a new vehicle . . . doubt whether it's worth the expense! I suspect the Stirling palates will continue to get a good workout . . . Cheers.
