What a difference a year makes. mtw and I returned from Spain (our belated honeymoon) just over one year ago. Since the blog wasn't up and running at that time, I thought I would post a few highlights from our amazing trip! Our travels began in Madrid...
followed by a magical time in Barcelona (a hands-down favorite). Here is a shot from Park Guell, Gaudi's famous and spectacular creation,
and one from the Miro museum...
Then we headed south to Costa del Sol where we stayed at a beautiful timeshare (thanks Grandpa Meaders and dad for facilitating that!), and soaked up the sun on the southern coast.
We took a day trip to Tangiers, Morocco and embraced the sights, sounds, smells, and scenery of North Africa (check out mtw rockin' the kasbah wall).
It was so great to be exposed to so many people, ideas, and experiences that differ from our day-to-day routines. Some were liberating (late meals and siesta); some inspiring (Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia); some reassuring (Madrid's seamless metro system); some over-stimulating (Barcelona's Rumbla); some delicious (el Buey - an off the beaten path restaurant in Madrid that any visitor MUST visit); some challenging (the bullfight in Madrid and the ferry ride back from Tangiers), but all were well worth it! I am grateful for that time together with mtw and look forward to the many travels we will take in the future (especially those in the near future)! Hasta luego!
