alf of our Spain trip was in Barcelona, the last half was in Madrid. Totally different experience. Barcelona has this super chic, LA-like beach city thing going on, and Madrid had more of the old-town, big city feel. It was a one hour plane ride from Barcelona to Madrid. We could have taken the bullet train, but for some reason, it was ridiculously expensive, and taking the night train would have taken 9 hours (and still cost more).
We didn’t do much this day, just kind of hung out at the park and in the shopping areas. Madrid is mostly museums, which we avoided as much as we could. My camera ran out of memory so most of these photos are from Mike’s camera.
ou’d think I’d be done writing about my trip to Spain now. It’s been a month – wait, over a month, since I was there. But I told myself I was going to record the entire trip, and here it is, slowly but surely. I think one of the best parts about going on a fun trip is being able to share it with others when I get back. So here it is – Day 3 of 6.
hat a day. We had an early breakfast before heading to 
inally, a vacation! It’s been a while. Traveling was something that my family did a lot of growing up. We haven’t done much traveling in the U.S., but we traveled all over Europe and Asia. I stopped traveling when I went to college because of the lack of time, and only went on “staycations” when I started working.
