¡Say queso!

Lynn's here! It's fun to witness her bubbly personality colliding with Europe's incredible sites. I like her. I also like her traveling companions, Tara and Nate. It's an upbeat group with plenty of energy. We toured Bratislava on Friday before heading to Spain! Barcelona was beautiful. I blame Gaudí. He's the architect behind La Segrada Família, Parc Güell, and a few other unique buildings. His designs include incredible mosaics and very curvy facades. On Sunday, we headed to the beach. The forecast called for rain, but we enjoyed several hours of pure sunshine. Heaven! We also tasted some traditional Spanish food- paella and tapas. I think it was a completely successful weekend in Spain.


Parc Güell was muy bonita. A wavy bench wrapped around an open area where tourists and pigeons mingled. Lynn (A.K.A. Lola) put her Spanish lessons to the test. ¡Ay, caramba!

Ok Mandy,
When I was in Spain a few years ago, the beaches were totally topless.

Did that change? :)
I'm glad you are having so much fun, Stacy
