It’s magical how WiFi stands and waves his paws!The marvels of Spain, too numerous to count (after all, my soon-to-be self-published novel is called “Flamenco & the Sitting Cat”) — were rendered all the more marvelous thanks to our kind hostess Henrietta Fielden (henriettafielden@gmail.com).
Her flat in Madrid is located within a theater building that’s over a hundred years old. Everything there is gorgeous, starting with the stairwell…
Going up is lovely…
And so is going down……and ending with dear Henrietta herself! Starting each day at her table was a delight not merely because her breakfast spreads were feasts both eyes and tummy — she’s also fun and interesting to chat with, no matter how our sleepy bodies protested at waking early for more sighseeing …
…moreover, her little Wifi kitty could easily be a professional stand-er! According to Henrietta, he’s merited quite a few Japanese YouTube viewers since she hosted guests from there.
My husband and I are fortunate to have met WiFi’s equally handsome and charming brother. Alas, WiFi’s performance made me forget to photograph his brother who has since passed away, his life far too short.
When I uploaded this short video of WiFi to my YouTube channel, Henrietta contributed this enlightening note, “There’s my WiFi! To potential fans, I should let you know he lacks discrimination. He will do this to a bare wall sometimes, too. So perhaps it is a kind of praying…”
Both of them humored my taking many pictures of them to share with you…
In the end, it’s the kindness of the people I meet on a trip that most touch my heart.
Our trip included:
Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France
French Basque Country: Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Bayonne, and Biarritz, France
Madrid — Part 1 — Part 2 — Part 3 — this post (Part 4)
What magic have you experienced on a vacation?
Marvelous, the Car and Stair case.
