Santiago de Compostella

We took a half day trip to Spain/Santiago-de-Compostela– a gorgeous little town, but completely overrun by pilgrims. It was interesting to learn that it is believed that James, one of the 12 apostles, was buried here. Hence all the craziness...

the beach

Today we discovered an amazing beach. About 20 min away from us, right on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, is the Sand Dunes National Park. And the beach has the most pristine sand I have ever seen. Although the water is a bit cold, Sasha absolutely loved it. She pretty much ran around...

Northern Spain

We are now in Green Spain - the North West portion of the country, where the climate is somewhat similar to our Pacific Northwest. It rains a lot of the time here, so everything is Green, hence the name. The capital, and the biggest attraction, is Santiago de Compostela - it's a final...

Seville

We are now on our day #3 in Seville. It is a gorgeous town, the whole downtown is a pedestrian zone, so it's wonderful to just walk around and check out local shops and cafes. I took a great 2 hour walking tour of the town yesterday, so my head is full of random statistics and history. The...

Sunday

Today we went to a park designed by the architect Guadi. His work predominates Barcelona. He was the driving force of modernista architecture. The park was interesting. On the way home I stopped and toured the Sangrada Familiar. A huge chapel built and conceived by Guadi. This thing has...

Barcelona

The trip to Barcelona went amazingly well. Minimal crying from Sasha, some traffic in Barcelona, but other than that it was pretty easy. Our apartment in the city is amazing. First of all I was just pleasantly surprised that it existed at all - after all I made a reservation over the internet...
