Como describir Barcelona...mmmmh, playita, buen ambiente, muchas artes, muy limpio, fácil de moverse, en general no lo encuentro un pero, una ciudad muy agusto para vivir. En Barcelona tuvo el gusto de hospedarme con mi hermano Manuel quien se encontraba trabajando por allá. LO QUE MAS ME GUSTO El área del Rabal es de mis favoritas de Barcelona, es un marrio lleno de marroquíes y pakistaníes, aqui mi brother Manuel me llevo en su moto a recorrer el barrio, me encanto! Para cerrar el día me llevo a los kebabs mas ricos que haya probado (yo soy gran fanántico de los kebabs), eran gigantescos y con el pan árabe hecho ahi mismo aun calientito, me di una buena empachada. También me encanto andar en bici por la ciudad, aqui mi guia fue Sarita, una de ... read more

Denise had a 3 week break between leaving her old job and starting her new one, so we took the opportunity to head for the sun for a week. We found a cheap holiday in a self catering apartment in Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, just off the coast of Morocco in Africa. The Canary Islands are actually Spanish, and made from volcanoes. The volcanoes came first and then, in the 1400's, the Spanish. As is the custom, the natives, called 'Guanches' were wiped out. Very little evidence is left of their existence. It is thought they came from North Africa and were polygamous with a difference, in that each woman had on average three husbands! Our apartment was in a British council estate with the addition of a swimming pool to give it that ... read more

Well, I certainly can't complain, as I lay here on a cushioned beach chair by the hotel pool. Barcelona is beautiful! We landed this morning, and I watched the landscape creep up, straining my already sore neck to look out the tiny plane window. I was surprised to see the difference in the terrain to the US - the clusters of houses and buildings that dotted the hills and mountains set a stark contrast to the congestion I just left. I watched the huge waves pound the coastline as we came into the airport, which was surrounded by farmland. Barcelona itself is surrounded by mountains, which restrict the access to the city. We disembarked and entered an almost silent international terminal. The excitement started early as two of our fellow passengers were arrested and handcuffed at ... read more

Hola everyone! Sorry it´s been awhile. So... What has been happening for the last few days?... *wracks her brain* Ok so as I said before we are eating very well! We have 3 men that are very good cooks (one of them is my Derek of course!!). Vincent and I made an awesome cake a couple days ago. He is vegan so we couldn´t use eggs, but because he is a Spanish native he knew a really neat trick. In place of eggs your can use Aloe Vera (there are tons of 'em growing around here). Yes! You heard me right!! So he showed me how to take one leaf (if you will) from the plant without hurting or killing the rest. You then fillet it like a fish, so you only have the jelly inside. ... read more
