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 →
Goodbye for now friends
August 30, 2024 Today I couldn't sleep in (shocking). I was up around 630 but I made myself attempt to go back to bed. It didn't work well but at 745 I finally got out of bed and got ready. I took my bags to reception and headed to breakfast early. I don't want to... Continue Reading →
Our last morning as a group….
August 29, 2024 I don't think any of us slept last night. Marghe made a comment "it's not very windy" and about an hour into being in my tent the INSANE winds started. And they never ended. We had to delay our departure, give up on breakfast and work as a team (each little team... Continue Reading →
Big Daddy Adventures
August 28, 2024 This trip is going to be tough to pick my favorite or most unique experience - because today was hella crazy and something I never thought I'd be doing. We got up at "o'dark thirty" (breakfast was at 6am) because the park opens at 715am and we want to be in line... Continue Reading →
The(re’s no) Fault in our Stars
August 27, 2024 Today was not as early - we had to be ready at 8am to leave and head to the dunes area. I slept so well in a real bed for the first time in like 10 nights. But tonight we are in camp for two days and then back to a hotel... Continue Reading →
