Easter Sunday in Cuenca, Spain

Dear Family and Friends,

Yesterday we woke up to the most spectacular day.  The skies were clear and the sun was shining bright.  We had been waiting for this weather all week.

We got up, had breakfast, packed our bags and checked out of our hotel.  We loaded the car and then went to watch the Easter procession before we headed to Madrid.

The only difference that I could see in the Easter procession and the Good Friday procession besides the glorious weather, is that the participants did not have their heads covered.  The costumes were beautiful.  They carried a resurrected Jesus and a Mary through the streets.




Of course I have to add a picture or two of children.




After the procession we hoped in the car and drove to Madrid.

We will be here in Madrid for a few days before we say goodbye to Spain and leave for Ecuador.

Love,
Nancy
