Barcelona Part 2

By

Our second day in Barcelona we got up and walked up Montjuic to see the views of the city. It was another big walking day. We walked along the water to get there, then through town on the way back in the afternoon. I don't know why but when we travel we usually don't use the public transportation much. In Barcelona we only used it to get to and from the airport and walked all over the city instead. Which leads to a ton of walking. I guess that is good since we had so much food for lunches.










Outside Hotel Miramar - the first stop on the way to the top









And the top - Castell de Montjuic



For those who don't want to walk you can take the cable cars up and down



The building in the background is the museum of national art of Catalan. Didn't get a good photo on the way to lunch because we were hungry, but we went back by it another day.


After lunch we hung out for a bit in the Parc de l'Espanya Industrial which was really nice to just sit and relax in.



There were all these guard towers which were empty


And someone having a photo shoot


And a dragon slide!




Raymond having a sits on the Passeig de Gràcia



Casa Milà - first if many Gaudi buildings







Casa Batllo and Casa Amatller - I really loved these buildings. So much fun





Casa Lleó i Morera













Most places in Barcelona are pretty nice, but then there was this empty field on the way to the beach. It was kind of out of place for the rest of the city.


And back to the beach after a long day of walking

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

By
So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

By
  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
