Thought Trips "On Spanish Soil."

FREEDOM.  
PEACE.

TOUCHING SPANISH SOIL 
AND SPEAKING THEIR LANGUAGE.  
A new adventure awaited and I allowed every step to touch my soul.  Through their flamenco music, local cuisine, narrow-lane villages and the Spaniards along the way, I lived a three-month dream.  For me, it was very personal because this is where my ancestral, gypsy blood began; northern Spain near Salamanca and southern Spain near Malaga.  I dreamed.  I created a plan.  I made it happen.

This mini-expat journey to Spain was the catalyst for my blog, Sassy Gypsy Strolls.  I will share the music I heard, the food I ate, the villages I drove "el carro" through and the adventures along the way.  I will introduce you to the friendly strangers I met, share genealogy tips and bring their culture into your own "thought trips."

Oh, and did I mention photographs?  When I returned from Spain after three months gallivanting over Spanish soil, my iPhone carried over 12,000 photos.  My friend wondered why my phone hadn't exploded already...
