Emma in Segovia (2017-18)

Emma in Segovia Emma attended her first year of university at the Instito de Empressa , an international business and law university in Madrid and Segovia, Spain. She studied at the Segovia campus. I enjoyed visiting her there in June 2018, just after exams were finished. Emma spent 2 months of the summer there in an internship in a legal office. Here we are at the lovely Cafe Jeyma.

(The cathedral here is properly termed a collegiale, since it was an institution of instruction.) A day in Brussels.... A day at the museum in

Collegiale St Gertrude

Collegiale St Gertrude A Little History St Gertrude died on March 17 in the year 659 A.D. She was probably in her early to mid thirties at the time of her death. She and her mother, Itta, founded an abbey in what is now called Nivelles. It is thought that the abbey came first, and the town soon grew up around its perimeter, serving the needs of the abbey and the pilgrims who stayed there. Her father was Pepin (the Elder) of Landen, a descendant of the first Merovingian King Clovis and his well-named descendants, such as the several Pepins (including Pepin the Short but not the Tall), Charles Martel, Charlemagne, and Louis the Pious.
