St Teresa of Avila

This is the Convent of St Teresa in Avila from whence I am now returning on the train.

St Teresa is one of my favourite Saints - a woman of God who was prepared to stand up for what she believed at a time when women were expected to do what they were told.

I had to give up writing at this point because the train was rocking too much. It was also late - surprise surprise! It's past 11.00pm here, and I've only been back a short time. This part of Madrid really comes to life at night, but I resisted the urge to stay out and party! I'm going to bed - will post more pictures and comments tomorrow.
