Barcelona 2009


After our visit to Paris, Elizabeth and I hopped on a low fare jet to Barcelona where Miguel Angel "Miki" picked us up and our fabulous tour of Barcelona and Sitges began. We fell in love with the tapas, architecture, cafe culture and general life style of the Catalan. What a blast. I'd have to say we did most of the typical tourist things and a few of our favorites were the chocolate and churros, Mirablau on the hill, the various Gaudi tours, and Tapas!



Mike and his girlfriend Anna are wonderful people and great friends. We enjoyed our time with them tremendously. Miki does like to make fun of my Spanish (he calls me the Gringo Mexicano) since i have a latin american accent...so maybe one day i'll get over the lisp thing that the Spaniards do and adapt the accent...just not sure i can go there. :) But i love miki nonetheless!!



Our visit to Sitges was great - what a nice beach town. Our favorite dinner spot was a Tapas restaurant that Miki took us to...chistorra was our favorite sausage...good stuff.



After the visit to Sitges we made our way down to Sevilla and explored that area for some time. Spain is a very interesting country and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
