Yes, I definitely did. I got to meet all my great-grandfather's surviving relatives, which was two or three generations. They took us out to eat and showed us around for two days. We even stayed with them. It was a great time.

I'm so glad to hear that. It's amazing to meet people who we are connected to from several generations back and still feel a strong connection.

I'm half-joking and half-serious, but are you planning a return visit?

Exactly, the feeling of belonging there is intense. It's odd to me that we can feel that even several generations after the immigration.

Asturias

Post by Bob »

I'm planning to revisit Asturias in 2015, probably for two weeks, this time with Meredythe. Once you have been there and found family homes, relatives, and long-dead ancestors' graves, it's impossible not to to want to return.
