Espana

Spain was simply amazing!!! I've been dragging my feet on posting about our trip because I just don't even know where to begin. We had a great time and there was so much to see. Here are some of the highlights. La Boqueria- One can find ANYTHING in the world at this fascinating semi-enclosed food market in Barcelona.

Parc Guell- Barcelona- I think this was my absolute most favorite thing in Spain. A gigantic park designed by master architect Gaudi. Mosaics galore.

Churros con chocolate with Andy and Amy.

Roman Aqueducts- Segovia Can you believe that this was made about 1800 years ago?

Paella- sooooo good!!!

Another beautiful residence- Segovia- Everyone puts flowers on their balconies. entry ways, etc etc.

Alcazar- Segovia This was an awesome castle.

John Edwards -Madrid - We were walking down the street when Mike noticed none but the famous and failed presidential candidate John Edwards. I was so excited to get a picture with him. (but why did I have to be wearing that travel shirt borrowed from Jean on that day?)

Old man-Toledo - Old men and women get all dressed up in Spain and they are so cute.

Bull Fight-Madrid- Sorry PETA people but we did go to a bullfight which was fascinating and horrifying all at the same time.

Apartment-Seville- We scored big with this apt. rental for 2 nights. We had an awesome apt. to ourselves complete with washer and dryer for the same price as a dumpy hotel.

Plaza Espanol-Seville- I loved the tiled bridge

Brightly colored building-Seville Isn't that beautiful?

Man in Pink- Seville- I have never seen so many men in pink. The men in Spain love to wear pink. MIke still refuses to wear it.

Seville-Yummy dinner of fried fish and gazpacho soup right on the river.

Another tiled entryway-Seville- not a flattering picture of me but check out that awesome tile job. I'm cookcoo over tile.

Narrow alley-Seville- Watch out for cars-no joke!!!!

Well that's it folks. I have about a million pictures but I didn't want to bore you all.

I highly recommend a trip to Spain.
