Another day of Santiago walkabout, Post 1: mind-blowing portico sculpture by Master Mateo 1188-1211. The 24 Elders-each with a musical instrument-as the original Apocalypse Jam Band, the damned being eaten & other spicy acts, Moses & Isaiah w/recent polychrome restoration, and Griffins holding the whole extravaganza up
Another day of Santiago walkabout, Post 2: mossy creep on everything and found a chess piece (pawn) fountain on a side street ❤️♟️❤️
Another day of Santiago walkabout, Post 3: while the main cathedral is over-the-top posh, I preferred the smaller churches & old monuments aging with plants sprouting out of gutters and cracks in the stonework - becoming a habitat for nature
Another day of Santiago walkabout, Post 4, last post- in honour of #Caturday - some domestic & feral cats I saw in my walkabout today and the awesome street signs that protect them ❤️🐈⬛🐈😻❤️
@JGSchaeffer Oh how I wish we all had the ability to travel
@MLClark I agree. We all have a chance to witness something, even through a photo that plucks at the various strings of wonder and awe within us. 💙@JGSchaeffer

I love that folks like @JGSchaeffer share these beautiful glimpses of their travels. We can't all journey out from home, but there's something special about living vicariously through others' trips - because the way JGS moves through a space might be very different from the way I would; and so, seeing others in the world also means getting to see the world *through other eyes*.
Love it to bits. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your splendid journey, JGS! ♥️💃🏻🛩️🌍 Safe trip home!
