Barcelona

Hello all,

Cassie and I just got back to work after a week break. This schedule is awesome. Seriously, once you get the point of being sick of the kids, we have a break to allow you to regain some sanity. Anyway, we chose to spend our fall break in Barcelona.

Before we left, I forgot the camera on the desk in our apartment in Kyiv. I remembered this fact in the taxi on the way to the airport. Hence, we spent our first day in Barcelona looking for a camera. Here are some pics of the trip:


This is inside the main cathedral in Barcelona. We actually climbed to the top of this and got a few (very uninteresting) pictures of the surrounding city. The amazing thing was that we were standing on the top of the arches you see in the picture. It was a bit sketchy.


Here is a Roman cemetery dating back to the first century. The coolest part was that this was in the middle of the main shopping center.

Here is a picture of some of the gardens that surround the Olympic park. Having been to the Olympic Park in Seoul, this one was actually much better and less ghost-townish.


Can't go to Spain without trying some of the delicious Iberian Ham, unless you are Cassie.


This is the view down the beach at the city center of Tarragona, a little town down the coast from Barcelona with some incredible Roman ruins.


Here is a part of the arena in Tarragona.

This is the Roman Circus in Tarragona.


These are the tunnels under the Circus.

Overall we had a great time in Spain. Our next break sees us back in the US. We will be heading to Savannah, GA to visit Robbie and the rest of Cassie's family over Christmas. Afterwards, we will be heading to San Antonio to visit Monica and Leonard, friends from Yuma. I will post more soon.

Oh, and check this out!
