Saturday August 6 - Sunday August 7, 2011 Barcelona, Spain

Our Mediterranean trip, a trip of a lifetime began in the beautiful city of Barcelona. Despite having bad jet lag, we somehow managed to make the most of our first day.

Napolitanas- the best pastry ever!!

Brett was so happy to have them again after 7 years!

We took a tour of the stadium and saw all the trophies

Our second day was a lot more enjoyable after 12 hours of sleep.  Brett was the only one who could make it to church and he was so happy to see a couple familiar faces.  When he got back to the hotel, we made our way through Barcelona (Brett lived in Barcelona for nine months).  The city is beautiful and so clean!  We hit famous places like Gothic Quarter, Sagradia Familia, Park Guell, Montjuik, and to top it off with paella.  Let me say, I was happy to have my husband/tour guide who speaks Spanish with me at all times.
