Always looking for someplace new, #JohnWanders walks by the 1062 church of Sant Romá de Sau near Guilleries Spain. The church was submerged in 1962 by the Sau Reservoir. It is the oldest standing submerged church in the world. ( @shwise00 photo)

One thing about bridges, they always lead somewhere. Friday #JohnWanders took this Rupit Spain suspension bridge to start a hike to Salt de Sallent, the tallest waterfall in Catalonia. ( @shwise00 photos) #costabravatour

For all you Game of Thrones fans #JohnWanders over the 1877 bridge in Girona, Spain featured on the show. More importantly, Gustavo Eiffel built this bridge. Later he crossed a bridge connecting two parts of the ancient city wall. ( @shwise00 photos )

It’s been 8 years since #JohnWanders was at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Things are looking up as a lot of progress has been made to the inside and outside. ( @shwise00 photo) #sagradafamilia #spain #costabravatour

Sometimes being a literalist can get #JohnWanders in trouble like the time he gave himself a timeout in Barcelona’s subway system. ( @shwise00 photo) #costabravatour #spain

While visiting the Picasso Museum in Barcelona #JohnWanders ponders which version of Picasso’s series of paintings of Las Meninas/ Isabel del Velasco, Maria Barbola and Nicolasito Pertusato he likes best. (@shwise00 photo) #spain #españa #costabravatour

A rare frontal view of #JohnWanders as he explores Monhegan Island in Maine Saturday. 12 trails within a mile radius of the island. A 90 minute ferry ride to get there. ( @shwise00 photo )

@marybschneider Not to mention at 96 DNC I got together with my future wife. Not a bad year at all.

@marybschneider Even knowing this could be coming it is still shocking what this court is creating.

A tale of two beaches as #JohnWanders along the sands of Praia do Beliche and the shale rocks of Praia da Barriga in the western Algarve of Portugal Thursday. ( @shwise00 Photos )

[John Swart @johnswart]

Seems #JohnWanders may have forgotten something while walking along the shore of Praia da Marinha in Portugal. Oh right, his daily beach towel duties, this time on Praia dos Caneiros. ( @shwise00 photos )

Stepping through the portal to one of the 7 beach wonders of Portugal, #JohnWanders into a foggy Praia de Odeceixe Tuesday. ( photo by @shwise00 )

His shadow is getting ahead of #johnwanders feet on one of his favorite beaches, Praia da Luz in Luz,Portugal.

It’s Spring so this must be time for #JohnWanders to head to MacMahan Island. An afternoon hike around the north end of the island. ( @ericrisberg photos ) #macmahan #macmahanisland #maine

@marybschneider Almost sickening to listen to Alito.

My bros throughout the years. Still handsome after all these years. #nationalsiblingsday

It pays to get up early as #JohnWanders gets to watch two stingrays cross paths outside his villa at Anantara Kihavah Friday morning. Time for breakfast.
