The Beautiful Art & Architecture of Barcelona

Barcelona has beautiful art and architecture - no surprise in a region so closely tied to Picasso and Dali. Here are some of our favorites:

Favorite Memories

People keep asking me what my favorite part of the trip was. And so many things were incredible, it's hard to say. But the answer I usually give them is our first night in Paris. Derek and I found a cheap twist off bottle of Bordeaux (but a white) at the store and took it down to the banks of the Seine at Pont Neuf. For the record, this concept is actually pretty popular - don't expect an empty river. But we had a great time.

The view from the river was gorgeous. Trying to capture it in pictures was challenging (aided by the cheap wine), but still.

After a few hours by the river, our night devolved into Disney songs. It's hard to capture the whole experience in words - an experience deeply colored by the person I shared it with - and I mean that in the best way possible.

But I hope this inspires people to go out and make the most of where they are and who they're with. It only took a few Euros to have an experience we'll never forget.
