Jen and I (and Maisie) are heading off on vacation today! The last time we’ve gone on vacation, just the 2 (now 3) of us was for our 2nd anniversary…we’ll be married 6 years this summer! If you do the math, we’ve been due for some time away together!
We have heard over and over how great a city Barcelona is, so we are really looking forward to seeing for ourselves. I was in Spain a few weeks ago for a research trip to Seville and really loved the culture there…even though people in Barcelona consider themselves Catalonians, not Spanish. We’re especially looking forward to hanging out on the beach (even though we are pasty northern Europeans now!), going to the huge aquarium, exploring a new city, and just relaxing together!
We’ll both be away from blogging and email for a while, so ‘talk’ to you in a few days! Justin
Hey Justin! Hope you have fun in Barcelona! Kristen and I will be there in less than two months! So please gives us an update on likes/dislikes, things to do, impressions, etc. I have heard it is a great city! Also, we may actually stay with Richard Wallace while we are there. I am sure you know who he is. So if you see him, tell him “hello” and I hope he is still open to us visiting!
I APOLOGIZE JUSTIN. I forgot Richard is in Madrid, not Barcelona. We are going to Madrid AFTER Barcelona so sorry for my confusion.
I would imagine Barcelona is a good city for you guys, too, since they speak Catalán, which is similar to French.
I don’t speak French, though, so I’m wondering if you saw the similarities?
