The Roman Theatre, Cartagena.
This is considered a "jewel" of Cartagena and is one of the city's most visited monuments, it was certainly this that drew me to the city in Murcia. I find it amazing the excavation of this Theatre did not begin until 1988, taking fifteen years before it was fully uncovered!
The theater was built between 5 and 1 BC, it could accommodate around 7,000 spectators. The curved seating area, was carved into the rock of a mountain. The theater has raked seating, decoration, and a stage over 43 meters long.
The archaeological work has also managed to reconstruct a timeline. This shows that a market was built over a large part of the theater in the third century. For this, materials from the theater were used. In the thirteenth century the church was built on the highest part, which was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. Its ruin still sticks out like a pimple on the top layer of the theater.
Up to 100,000 people visit the theatre each year, the most visited museum in the region and one of the most visited nationally. The final pic is a reconstruction of how it would have looked two thousand years ago.

Towel Day
Towel  Day on May 25 is an annual holiday created to celebrate author Douglas  Adams by his fans. Adams wrote the classic sci-fi novel, “The  Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” This day was organized in memory of  him after he suffered a sudden heart attack at the age of 49. His fans  wanted to find a way to commemorate his life’s work, and after having  one towel day, its success made it a yearly event. On this day, fans  carry towels around everywhere they go. Today, we are celebrating this  holiday with a towel wrapped around our necks because, we too, love  Douglas Adams!
History of Towel Day
Towel  Day is celebrated on May 25, two weeks after the date of Adams’s death  in 2001 — May 11. The day has, over time, received the status of being a  kind of ‘‘geek holiday’’ due to its connection with the popular series.
Why  a towel? It’s said the towel holds much importance in “The Hitchhiker’s  Guide to the Galaxy.” Adams wrote about towels as being the most  helpful item for an interstellar traveler. In chapter three of the book,  he writes, “A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing  an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value  — you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold  moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble sanded  beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep  under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of  Kakrafoon…” and so the uses go on.
Adams’s strongest advice was  “Never go anywhere without your towel.” This day has been celebrated now  for 19 years and is a great occasion for science fiction fans all over  the world to come together and rejoice … with their towels. It is said  that Adams was a humorous writer and witty character and that this day  reflects his lovable silliness.

why doesn't she needle my brother about it? his room is in about the same state as mine. why does he get to be an adult but I still get the 'mommy will help you clean your room' treatment?

Plan Your Vacation with Expert Advice: A Guide to Stress-Free Travel
Although exciting, organizing a trip is an overwhelming task. To make the travel experience less stressful, there should be flexibility in booking accommodations, flights, and activites. To avoid feeling lost in the planning maze, it’s wise to plan your vacation with expert advice. Whether you’re looking for unique travel experiences, budget-friendly options, or tips for navigating unfamiliar destinations, expert guidance can ensure a smoother, more enjoyable trip.
 The Importance of Expert Guidance in Vacation Planning
Plan your vacation with expert advice from relatable travel agencies to save time and costs. Travel experts, including professional travel agents and local guides, have the knowledge and experience to provide valuable insights that you may not find through online searches or guidebooks. These experts can help you narrow down your destination choices based on your preferences, recommend hidden gems off the beaten path, and steer you away from tourist traps that may not align with your travel goals.
Tumblr media
Furthermore, travel experts are well-versed in current travel trends, airline policies, and accommodation availability, which can be especially useful when navigating travel during peak seasons or when there are unpredictable disruptions. They can advise you on the best times to book flights, how to get the most value from your accommodation, and the best travel deals available.
 Customized Travel Routine According to Your Preferences
One of the key benefits of seeking expert advice when you plan your vacation with expert advice is the ability to tailor your trip to fit your specific interests and needs. Instead of a generic, cookie-cutter itinerary, a travel expert can design a vacation that reflects your unique preferences. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway, an adventurous hiking experience, or a cultural city tour, an expert will offer personalized recommendations that align with your desires.
They can also help you create a balanced itinerary, ensuring that your vacation is both enjoyable and stress-free. For example, if you're traveling with children or elderly family members, experts can suggest family-friendly activities and accommodations that are convenient and accessible for everyone. Likewise, if you’re traveling solo or as a couple, experts can suggest activities and destinations that cater specifically to those types of travelers.
 Stress-Free Logistics and Support
One of the most stressful aspects of vacation planning is dealing with the logistics—booking flights, ensuring your passport is in order, managing accommodation reservations, and organizing transport. With expert advice, you can leave much of this stress behind. Travel experts handle the detailed planning for you, ensuring that everything is coordinated seamlessly from start to finish.
 Conclusion
Plan your vacation with expert advice since it can make a world of difference in creating a stress-free and memorable travel experience. From personalized recommendations and exclusive deals to stress-free logistics and insider knowledge, experts bring invaluable support to your vacation planning. Instead of navigating the overwhelming world of travel on your own, enlisting the help of a professional ensures that your trip is tailored to your needs, well-organized, and filled with unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time vacationer, expert guidance can help you make the most of your next getaway.

"You came from here" is just echoing in my head. or. from my head. talking about understanding the astral. talking about this plane. talking about this planes people. I am the astral. I am the original parent. I am those waters. All I can say about understanding is "you came from here" but that's a lie because what I'm actually speaking is both the tiny island of those words and the huge swathes of water that is my body open wide and my body is the cosmic gelatine, the Mother Waters, the binding between existence and it's electric wire mainframe
