I had to get up early today to head into the Gothic quarter to go with the tour group to head to Andorra. I thought I was originally late, because I had timed everything based on public transit, but because of the phone issues I didnt trust my old phone to function correctly, so I... Continue Reading →
Lauren’s last day
Today is Lauren's last day in Barcelona. Her flight doesnt leave until late this afternoon, so we have all day to do the shopping she wants. We need souvenirs, to check out Zara and of course get in one last meal. We took our time this morning packing and heading down to breakfast. After breakfast... Continue Reading →
Sagrada Familia and Gaudi things
Today, unfortunately, we woke up to rain. In my head I had hoped it would clear, even though the weather had called for it for the last few days. It wasnt raining hard, but enough to put a damper on the morning. We enjoyed our breakfast and another easy morning before heading out to the... Continue Reading →
Banksy, Kaws and some good food
This morning we got to "sleep in" - we didnt have to be anywhere until 10am - so we got to take a leisure morning. Our first stop was a museum called Moco - it is a modern art museum that has two of my favorite artists and I learned had many more!! From original... Continue Reading →
Day trip to Mallorca
Today we headed to the island of Mallorca. We had to be up early (like 545am) in order to get ready and to our flight on time. Lauren let me know she is NOT ok with this non-stop traveling, so tomorrow we will be taking it a bit easier. But today, we are going to... Continue Reading →
The Paper Store and more….
Our morning started with a fancy coffee for Lauren before we got on the Hop on Hop off bus tour. We made it about 3/4 of the way through the bus tour before we got off to check out the Lego store and grab a snack. We built our own little "selves" out of Lego... Continue Reading →
Montserrat – it’s not a castle on a hill….
Today we chose to go to Monserrat - it's a mountain town about 90 minutes outside of Barcelona. It is a very beautiful mountain "town," that has an abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat. The abbey is known for the Virgin of Montserrat - a wooden virgin Mary statue that you can go up and touch.... Continue Reading →
Barcelona We Are Here!
March 7 - My first travel day started by me heading to Los Angeles for work. Which ended up being comical because of all the bags I had with me (backpack, bum bag, travel duffel, duffel with all my work stuff in it). I got to LA earlier than I needed to, but I figured... Continue Reading →
When everything works out!
This morning we got up and enjoyed some breakfast - but not before being very much out of it because of a one hour time change between Portugal and Gibraltar. For some reason that really threw off our bodies clocks. Anyway, after breakfast I packed my stuff up and Chris and I took his suitcase... Continue Reading →
Madrid
Oh golly where do I start with Madrid? Well I'll start off by saying I don't like it. Not any one thing in particular, but just not satisfied with the city. When I arrived I was excited, first because it was the nicest train I have ever been on (truly like a first class plane ride!!) And second... Continue Reading →
