My many adventures

I survived breast cancer, to travel around the world to some of the many places I've always wanted to go. There are lots more places I still want to visit.

I've been to Scotland, England, Vancouver, Victoria BC, an Alaskan cruise, Yukon, Alaska (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway), a fab Mediterranean cruise which took us to Barcelona, the Vatican & Rome, the island of Crete, Izmir & Sulcuk, Ephesus Turkey, Egypt and Malta. I have been to Las Vegas, Hollywood LA, Cabo San Lucas, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa, a Disney Cruise to Bahamas and Disney's Castaway Cay island, all over Canada and Hawaii and Pearl Harbour. We can add Cozumel, Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize City and Honduras. What a fabulous way to see the world!
Take the time to do the things you want to do because life is too short and if you wait until you can afford it, you'll likely never go. So get your plans ready and pick a place and start booking your trip. It is so worth it.

Thanks for dropping by. I have lots of posts to put up so stay tuned...

BLOG POST June 2019

Hi Folks! During a convention in Toronto in 2017, my grandson and I visited Niagara Falls, CN Tower and went to Medieval Knights dinner theatre. We had such a fabulous time! I will be posting pictures of that wonderful trip.

I still have a great deal of travel posts to put up. I want our vacations and travel to be shared with you all. I'm not sure of what our travel plans will be for 2017, but for 2016, I rested all the time. Retirement is so awesome!! I was able to take pictures of the summer's Totally Eclipse of the Moom, which I'll share with you here on a post. It was incredible for sure.
I just love summer! I hope the winter will be gentle to us.

Still trying to find my ancesters with the Foran/Forhan name. Apparently two brothers came over from Dublin, one was name Edward who had a son named Edward born in Prince Edward Island and he had a son named William who had my father. I love doing ancestry but it is very frustrating when you can get no further without the "parents" names.

I have so many posts to write about so please keep patience with me. I received a great posting from SiteHoundSniffs.com which looks to be a great animal site. Hope you enjoy it.

My granddaughter Layla made it to Master Chef Canada in 2018 but was cut. She's still a great cook.

My little guy Rialey is now 16 and is 6'2 ". He is so thoughtful of me and helps me a lot.

I had hoped to travel last year or in 2019, but health issues stopped that thought. Now I face another health issue, heart failure. Last May 2018 I was admitted to hospital and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully they brought me back. With all the great health care, I am in recovery. When you don't have yur health, you have nothing. I think I have about 8 specialist doctors and my MD and I pay nothing, thank goodness!

Take care my blogger friends.

Thanks friends,

Debbie

Barcelona's Markets in the Gothic Area

Hey everyone!

Sometimes I wonder which pictures I should write about. I have so many fabulous places to blog about. Some of the blogs may likely affect a person's view on whether to visit a place or buy a product or have the same feelings on a service.

Today, I went to my photo gallery to choose what to write about.  I decided to write about the Markets in Barcelona.  They were really different and awesome!  Barcelona knows how to show off a great Market.

Some of the articles in the Market shook me up a little.  I couldn't look at the little pigs on display or the hanging dead animals. However, they did have awesome fruits, veggies and other good food.  We came across a display of kitchen ware and we purchased a pizza cutter.  It was a long orange knife like item with jagged edges.  It still works great today!

There were other specialty stores around the Market off the La Ramblas, scene below.  It was a very big market.  We strolled around the market looking at all the different items for sale from food, to fruit, kitchen goods, meat, and so much more!  I have never seen markets like these.  The biggest one is immediately following my writing and the smaller market was down from our Hotel 1898 and in back of buildings.  The little narrow streets still amaze me! I love so much.

As we strolled around the massive Market, Layla was taking pictures of the various foods and items.  We were careful to ensure Rialey stayed close by us.  We didn't want to lose him in the massive place.

We don't have anything like this at home and we really enjoyed viewing the wonders of Barcelona's Markets.  I would recommend going to one on your next visit.
Thanks folks, hope you enjoy the pictures.!

Fresh food waiting to be picked!



The colours were captivating!

Everything you could ask for.

Lots to choose from.

Looking at all the food made us very hungry.





This little street led us to another Market on the other side of the La Ramblas.

This was a much smaller Market but lots to choose from.
