Winter Solstice 2009
Pontevedra
No trips this time - Raye and Dave came over to Spain to visit, but I had a bad bout of sciatica so we couldn't go anywhere. From a mystical perspective, our previous trip to Lapa de Gargantáns was the last one we did before finding out that Loreto was pregnant - so maybe there's something in the fertility myths connected with these places! Following this train of thought, the solstice did have some significance, as it was at this time that we found out the sex of the baby (it's a she!), so we were able to send Raye and Dave home with the knowledge that the next addition to their family will be a granddaughter.
