When reading a blog about a place I’ve not been before, the photographs that grab my attention are those of everyday street scenes.  How I feel walking down the street wherever I am is an indicator of how happy I will be there.

This is our third week back in Australia after our two month visit to Spain, Morocco, and (Portugal (Lisbon), and I have a confession to make. I have not finished unpacking my bags. I have unpacked all the goodies that we bought  – that was the fun bit.  I spread them out on the guests’ …
