Guess What!?

---

Guess where we're going!? - SPAIN!!! Well, Barcelona to be exact. The English school year includes a one-week break each term, and the first break is October 20th to 28th. Tonight we booked our flights, hotel and tickets to a few attractions. We fly out of London the morning of Saturday, October 20th and we will be returning Friday, October 26th. We purchased a 5 day 'Barcelona Card' which gives us free entry to many museums and attractions, discounts at some shops and restaurents and unlimited travel on public transport. Some attractions we may visit are: Museum of Decorative Arts, Natural Sciences Museum, Botanical Gardens, Picasso Museum, the temple of the Sagrada Familia, the Perfume Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. We can also go on a guided walk of the Gothic Quarter, or of Picasso's bohemian Barcelona. We also bought tickekts to see a Flamenco Show on Tuesday, October 23rd. Barcelona is pretty much right on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Booking this vacation was a little nerve-racking since neither of us has ever planned one before.

One of the new things we've noticed about life in England since we've been here is the high number of public buses that break-down. Apparently, a few days ago, one of the buses caught on fire. On the way home from work, we had to stop to pick up stranded riders from the bus before us.

Lastly, we have a few new 'English' words: knackered = tired (or sleepy), mate = friend, bloke = guy.

That is all for now, and we hope things are going well with you back home!
