View of Cullera Spain townhouses

I had such high hopes for Cullera, a neighboring Valencia town. It looked just perfect for us from the pictures and videos that I had seen. This was destined to be our next home, I was positive. Just to be sure though, we decided to take the four hour train to Valencia from Seville to check it out. Our second year in Seville was brutal in the summer with temperatures reaching over 110 degrees. Muggy too. The desire to be closer to water came on strong. Our first summer here had been dry and we had often wondered why people complained so much. Who knew we had just been lucky!  Now we know.

Historic osun osogbo sacred grove is a remarkable beauty

If anyone had told me that Nigeria has a UNESCO World Heritage Site, l would have scoffed. I had certainly never read nor heard about that. All we seem to hear about is Boko Haram and Internet Scammers. Our recent visit to Nigeria where we spent the most of December was an enlightening one.

Not only did we get to visit with family, but we also traveled short distances from our bases in Ibadan and Lagos to visit some of the cultural landmarks including the Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove. The grove is located in the South West of Nigeria and is one of the last remaining ones in the country. Most groves have been abandoned thanks to population growth and in my opinion, more westernized religion and the dying off of old people.
