Granted it never got quite that cold again the temperature in Poland has been a stark difference from our destinations thus far. Although the weather was shocking, the endless homemade food and desert gave us the comfort we needed. Warsaw was a…

Reminiscing in the Snow
As we get ready for our last day in Poland we decided it was about time to write about the rest of our time in Barcelona. The Picasso museum was an interesting look into the progression of Picasso from his early realist paintings to the beginning of his abstract art. Next, we could not leave Barcelona without seeing a flamenco concert,…
Beautiful Barcelona
Cheering with 100,000 other FC Barcelona fans at Camp Nou was the perfect start to our Barcelona experience. After a day of sightseeing the next night we went to the famous Magic Fountain of Montjuïc to celebrate the New Year. In the middle of a sea of people we were captivated by the live entertainment and fireworks. Once the countdown hit…

As the extravagant Christmas lights of London started flickering to life we joined Brendon and Danielle…
Pubs, Castles, And Cathedrals
Driving to David and Ev’s house after our rather long ten hour flight was a welcome sign of things to come. Driving on the wrong sign of the road, funny little cars, green fields of sheep, and skinny roads with old growth on either side; all signs that our transition to observant travelers had begun. Our first destination was Godalming, the first…
