It all started about ten months ago, when my dear sweet hubby announced that we should take a vacation. A "real" one, minus children. Well, after some serious arm twisting, I was talked into it. A month later we received an email about an incredible deal on a 12-day Mediterranean Cruise.
Me: "Honey, what do you think about this one?"
Dave: "Sure. Let's do it."
Me: "Done." (before he could change his mind!)
So a reply email was sent, money was wirelessly transmitted, and voila! We were on our way to my dream vacation! Many months and much preparation later, we were on a plane to Barcelona. We got off the plane at 8:00 AM after flying all night (I slept great on the plane--Dave, not so much!), and immediately boarded a bus for a tour of the city. Some of my favorite sites and details, clockwise starting at the top left:
Me and Dave on the bus--happy to be off the plane : ), a cool street light with an even cooler apartment complex behind it. Notice how the wall of the building "peels" away to reveal the little balconies--awesome! Next, some more cool architecture--the ground floor is boarded up and not open for the day yet, but the balconies above are beautiful! Below that, some cool finishing touches on opposite corners, below that, my favorite sidewalk at a park we stopped at--all "found" mosaics, meaning they were made of gears, rocks, slabs, etc. I want to try this on our back patio! Next to that, the Maritime Museum--gorgeous building! In the corner, the view from our hotel that night. If you look closely, you can see the cathedral on top of the hill . . . next to the ferris wheel! Above that is another beautiful cathedral, and in the center is us at the park I mentioned before. It was cold and windy, but Barcelona is beautiful!
