\n From Le Havre to Portmouth, Sevillian Alamillo and more office fashion
\n Bilbao, San Sebastian, Poitiers, Granville, Mont-St-Michel, St-Malo, Honfleur... Etretap and Fecamp before taking the ship in Le Havre to come to England, concretly to Portmouth's port. And one week ahead to visit: Bristol, Bath, Stonehenge, Brighton, Winchester and Cardiff (Wales). The same desires and illusion for continuing stamping on museums, exhibitions, monuments, shops ... We´re exactly in the meridian of our trip.
\nThe ship left at the 20.00 hrs., so the rest of the day was destined to visit Etretat, in the Côte d'Albatre (coast of alabaster) that takes this name as cliff cretaceous (of the third period of the age mesozoica or of the reptiles and dinosaurs - period that began 225 million years ago. It´s between the primary age and the tertiary one. In Etretat, Falaise d'Aval has this form of elephant that sinks his horn in the milky waters - the city is placed between Le Havre and Le Tréport - and is a whole tourist attraction.
\nFécamp is the most important city of this route, specially due to the Benedictine abbey that was long ago a center of peregrination for the trunk of tree that was containing Christ's blood and that, according to the popular legend, was thrown out of the sea by the tide in the VIIth century. Other one of its important monuments is the Benedictine Palace, the main reason of my peregrination that dragged husband and daughter, two both.
\nThe reason was more sentimental than another thing so there, in this Neogothic-Renaissance building, his owner Alexandre Le Grand, commercialized the recipe of the monks for the most famous liquor of herbs, Benedictine. The same liquor that my grandmother was buying every Christmas and that it has actually been impossible to find in Seville. For me, to walk along this palace impregnated with the 27 plants and spices aromas that contains the elixir, was equal to submerging in Christmas episodes of my infancy. The whole delight for my soul that woke up to intimate recollections.
\nAt the end of the visit to the palace, the itinerant exhibition of this summer titled:\n“1988 - 2008 The Benedictine Palace: 20 years of cultural sponsorship in Modern Art”, centred on Dalí and his 120 surrealistic engravings on “The divine comedy” and “Tristan and Isolda”.
\nBefore going out, a free degustation and one develop around the shop to buy one Benedictine's bottle, which nowadays is in the table of my lounge - as if it was a piece of museum - and whenever I enter there it gives me really good vibrations... How bottomless human mind is.
\nFor further information about the palace: http://www.benedictine.fr/homepage.html
\nIn Le Havre - I recommend you the lounge tea-restaurant, with beautiful looks at the sea, “Le Mira Mar” at the 29th Guillemard street. We went there before taking a 7th floors Ferry LD Lines to cross onto England, where after many sickness -the sea was unbearably rough- we arrived to Portsmouth -10 degrees and rain, what cold!!!- Once in land, we had to get used to leading for the left side with a car that has the steering wheel to the left side - our Opel is Spanish, of course! - by night and the badly time...
\nBut in the hotel they were waiting for a few clean beds and we were really tired, so with help of the GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM), we obtain it.\nBefore finishing this post I leave you a few pictures of the Alamillo´s Park in Seville, where I was walking two nights ago. In this photo, to the bottom is the Olympic Stadium where, certainly, next September 16 Madonna will sing.
\nAnd more office look. I wait for your commentaries. Both dresses are from Mango. Massimo Dutti's shoes and Synthesis. Accessories of Primark, Yokana, Bimba and Lola. Massimo Dutti's purse.
