it’s not every day a raven will sit and pose for a photo opportunity. The spiritual messenger pictured above is none other than Gabriel the archangel mentioned by name in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling frustrated as France seemed to get further away with each step. William stopped stressing and threw down a blanket in the shade and threw up his hands asking Gabriel for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(The elephant being the Raven and the room being the great big world..)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raven did not step aside nor utter a caw. He turned his head to allow safe passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
