Coming from a big family, in part, I would think that I can get away from people during a pilgrimage. Wrong. What I experience is a sea of humanity. We all have this desire to belong and to connect.
Ephesus
Lourdes
Mount Sinai
Jerusalem
Venice
After pouring our heart and soul to our devotion, we also have something in common that is totally different. Guess what? SHOPPING!
The Grand Bazaar – Turkey
and this is my family, in part.
Family Reunion
After all of these events, I spend a great deal of “me” time.
Reflections 
Looks fun! 🙂
Ha! What a ‘small’ family you got. 😉 Kidding aside, lovely choices for the theme. 🙂
Don’t tell me Imelda, you ave a teeny weeny family 🙂 Thank you.
Wow Perpetua – family of man and family of the Seeker 🙂 Great choices.
Than you, Tina. I have to learn how take photos of a single person soon. I tend to gravitate toward crowds. I wonder why. 😛 Perpetua
I like your take on this week’s theme, well done.
Thank you, Reverend.
I understand the paradoxical joys of family and alone time although my family isn’t nearly as large. 🙂

Thanks, Janet. Even using the bathroom, can’t spend too long in there. 😛 Perpetua.
I can see why you need to recover but I bet you enjoy every minute.
Good times, good times, Kate. It happens every two years, I think.
What a big event of the family union! Thank you for sharing, seeker.
and it keeps on growing with new babies and more babies on the way….
