Sibling Weekend

Things have been extremely busy around here, hence the lack of updating. Devin has been gone from Barcelona for about five weeks, and Rachel spent 1 1/2 weeks in the US doing professional development. We have been apart for a long time, but Devin soon returns to Barcelona, and we plan to not do this distance again anytime soon!

Just before we set off for separate work, we had a weekend visit from Sarah and Peter. As we mentioned in a previous post, we love having visitors, because they help us to get out and explore our own city! We have been out of town so many weekends this Fall that we have not spent much time in the city. Sarah and Peter arrived late Friday night, and we spent the next few hours eating pizza on the roof and laughing until our bellies ached.

We had a blast with them - ate amazing food, drank delicious coffee and wine, rode bikes on the beach and ventured into the hidden corners of the city. Here are some pictures of the way we spent our time together!
We had to start the day at the famous Boqueria to get some fresh fruit juices




First Coffee Stop in Placa Real


Love this sunny placa full of palm trees.

We went to the museum of the original city of Barcelona, which is underneath the current city! Very cool.

Another favorite cafe, this one underground. 
Strolled through an antique market

Les Mills was hosting their traveling "Immersive Fitness" on the beach in Barcelona this weekend. Extremely cool!
We Love Les Mills!

  1. How fun to see where you visited in Barcelona! I recognize many of those spots and see some new ones we would enjoy visiting.

  2. I loved this trip :) Can't wait until the next one. I hope it's just as warm and sunny-- the bike ride on the beach was necessary to get me through the next rainy week in Lugano.
