  • Gourmet Tapas

    After our walking tour, we were ruled by our stomachs and found a really nice tapas place outside of la Catedral and the architecture school. First we said we were only going to have 3 or 4 tapas but they were so good we ended up havin at least 8 each.

  • Stairway to Heav- Hostel

    The stairs at our hostel are so steep. We have to step sideways to get up and down them. It is like climbing.

  • La Sagrada Familia

    This is one place I have been lookin forward to since the beginning plans of this trip. After so many years of Spanish classes, I cannot tell you how often I’ve learned about the architect Gaudí and his unique work – especially that of La Sagrada Familia.

  • And then we learned about the Spanish nightlife…

    After our meal of paella and sangria we were ready for a nice siesta. Naps and I don’t usually get along too well, but I tried my best, gave up, and went to the lounge to charge my phone (there were only plugs in the common areas). That’s when my new friend King Henry said hi…

    We arrived in Barcelona on Sunday by train at around 11. It took some trial and error to figure out where we were going because somebody (not me!! … Ok, ok…me) didn’t figure out directions from the station to the hostel.

  • Barcelona

    Barcelona stole our hearts. We both loved this city so much. It is very vibrant, beachy, and young. The nights never seem to end here. Half the reason why I didn’t update once while in Barcelona is because we were out all day going on adventures and staying out late because nothing seemed to end or close. (more…)

  • Au Revoir Paris

    Paris was a pretty good city. We did spend less time there than originally intended due to our extended stay in Sorrento, therefore it was difficult to do everything in the city.
