I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers

The Chapelle du Sacré-Coeur ,built 1903 on a hill overlooking the town, The Chapel evokes devotion to the Heart of Jesus, which became a symbol of the revolt of the Chouans during the revolutionary era. Its Greek cross shape divides the chapel into four equal parts. In the center, four pillars support four circular arcs on which rests an octagonal dome pierced with sixteen openings. A second cupola rests on the first.
At the top, stands a statue of the Sacred Heart of 2.60 meters. The interior houses frescoes which the chapel was closed when we arrived but was able to peek a bit inside,. The ten scenes depicted retrace the history of the chapel and explain the purpose and practices of devotion to the Sacred Heart. An architectural reduction of the Basilica Sacré-Coeur of Montmartre, this chapel is nicknamed the “Breton Montmartre”.
Other things to see in Berné are the Saint-Albaud Chapel, in a flamboyant Gothic style inspired by the Notre-Dame de Kernascléden Church (see post), depended on the lordship of Pontcallec. It was founded at the beginning of the 16C by the lords of Malestroit, who held three fairs there a year. The Château de Pontcallec, 19C, park that can be visited. Built in 1883 on the site of the former feudal residence of the lords of Pontcallec. The castle is now inhabited by the Dominicans of the Holy Spirit, who notably run the Notre-Dame de Joie children’s home. The Sainte-Anne-des-Bois Chapel, built in the heart of the woods in 1865 by the Comtesse de Brissac, then owner of the Château de Pontcallec, in gratitude for the expected birth of a daughter. It is neo-Gothic in style.
