Amsterdam & Barcelona!

It's been just over a month since our trip's departure date, so a post with pictures and thoughts from the trip is certainly overdue. 

Our 10-day trip abroad was so wonderful in so many ways. It was so great to see and spend time with both sisters. We love them dearly, and it was so nice to visit them in their current cities and to have them as local tour guides. The weather was so perfect for our entire trip. We took rain jackets with us for Amsterdam, and didn't even have to use them. We had sunny, 75-degree days, and we enjoyed soaking up those rays. 

We had some delicious food and beverages, and we got to try all kinds of new things (more paella, Richard?). And of course, we loved seeing the sights and exploring new cities. 

Modes of transportation that we used: planes, buses, trams, bicycles, ferries, metros, canal cruise boats, trains, taxis. Oh, and walking, lots and lots of walking. Our poor, suburban, American feet got broken in pretty hard on the streets of Barcelona, Brussels, and Amsterdam. 

So, in a series of posts, here are some photos from our fabulous trip! 

Hanging out in Parc Guell

Comfy, stone seat

The beautiful view of Barcelona from the hills of Parc Guell





Strangely beautiful Sagrada Familia -- as always, under construction

One of my favorites -- the details in the doors of Sagrada Familia

The view from the top

In his happy place -- the zoo

With the Komodo dragon!
