| Old memories in Eramprunyà Castle, Gavà |
Today, The Grandma has visited Eramprunyà Castle again. She enjoyed her last visit some days ago and she has wanted to return. The Grandma has had a meeting with some friends from Gavà and Begues and she has also met three new friends, Ю́рий aka Iuri, Myrddin aka Merlin and Johnny 5.
Ю́рий is a Russian pilot and cosmonaut who became the first human to journey into outer space; Myrddin is an enchanter featured in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry and Johnny 5 is an American robot from Astoria, Oregon.
Perhaps thanks to the environment, perhaps thanks to her new friends, The Grandma has remembered one of the most beautiful masterpieces in literature of all times, The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Eixupéry, a wonderful novel that talks about friendship, feelings, knowledge and experiences, summing up, it talks about life.
The Little Prince is an incredible novel that must be read slowly enjoying its literature and its drawings and understanding its meaning, a deep reflexion about human relationships.
It has been a great pleasure to visit Eramprunyà Castle again and meet old and new friends. The Grandma has got amazing memories of this experience and she is very sure she is going to return very soon.
As The Little Prince said, It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important. It is the time we have dedicated to learn new things, that makes this new knowledge so important and this time has been a fantastic experience. Thanks to all Gavà Team.

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, in Russian Ю́рий Алексе́евич Гага́рин (9 March 1934-27 March 1968) was a Soviet Air Forces pilot and cosmonaut who became the first human to journey into outer space, achieving a major milestone in the Space Race; his capsule Vostok 1 completed one orbit of Earth on 12 April 1961.

Gagarin became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, his nation's highest honour.
Vostok 1 was Gagarin's only spaceflight but he served as the backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission, which ended in a fatal crash, killing his friend and fellow cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. Gagarin later served as the deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre, which was subsequently named after him.
Gagarin died in 1968 when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale awards the Yuri A. Gagarin Gold Medal in his honour.

Merlin, in Welsh Myrddin, is a legendary figure best known as an enchanter or wizard featured in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry. The standard depiction of the character first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, written c. 1136, and is based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures.

| Myrddin |
Geoffrey combined existing stories of Myrddin Wyllt or Merlinus Caledonensis, a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur, with tales of the Romano-British war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus to form the composite figure he called Merlin Ambrosius, in Welsh Myrddin Emrys. Geoffrey's rendering of the character was immediately popular, especially in Wales. Later writers expanded the account to produce a fuller image. Merlin's traditional biography casts him as a cambion: born of a mortal woman, sired by an incubus, the non-human from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities.
Merlin matures to an ascendant sagehood and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic and intrigue. Later authors have Merlin serve as the king's advisor and mentor to the knights until he is bewitched and forever sealed or killed by the Lady of the Lake. He is popularly said to be buried in the magical forest of Brocéliande.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
