I’ve been in many libraries that pleased the senses but the feeling of history, of people traveling from India, Asia, Africa & of course Europe to study here in the 15C was mindblowing! At the time, Coimbra was only a small town - even now only 150K population.

Have you ever visited a library that had your jaw drop & filled you with wonder? Univ of Coimbra (founded, 1290 CE)has a library that is not only exquisite but filled with manuscripts that date back to the 13th C. A seat of learning, people came from all over the world to study there. It’s stunning…

I’ve been wondering how you were doing. The rain here has been in sheets last night and part of the day. Then the wind came up this afternoon and was a doozie. Have been expecting a power cut all evening but we’re OK!

Wow. Vancouver also has a lovely Japanese Garden, the Nitobe Memorial Garden. A must visit if you’re ever in Vancouver.
