SUNSHINE AND FLOODS
A FEW SUNNY DAYS Sometime ago, I mentioned that I would be going to Palma (Majorca) to see the Miguel Barcelo Chapel in the Cathedral. It was raining and cold when I left Paris. The arrival in Palma was another world. 26°, sun and a clear blue sky. No hanging around in the hotel despite our late arrival due to controller strikes in Paris. The Spanish eat very late in the evening so with instructions from the Manager, off I went.
The following morning, I bounced out of bed, looked at the weather which was still quite beautiful. After breakfast, map in hand, l was on my way. The old town is very picturesque giving onto a harbor full of luxury boats. Palma did not seem to have suffered from the financial crisis which had hit Europe. The Cathedral could be seen from a long way off and yet it was not so easy for me to find the entrance. Up and down steps and finally there was a door in front of me.
