Hello from my flight to LAX! It’s 7:49 pm where I left Paris. It’s 10:50 am where I’m going to land in LAX. It’s so hard to manage your time when you’re flying west. Do you sleep now or not? Do you act like it’s the time where you flew from or where you’re going?…

Days 11-12: Barcelona
I was too tuckered out to write last night, so here’s a recap of the last two days. Day 11 Sandy & I have enjoyed our fairly early morning walks around the Gothic Quarter areas so we did it again. This time we stopped first at La Boqueria and had another look around. We bought…
Day 10: Barcelona
Sandy and I set out again fairly early this morning to get some breakfast. We ended up making kind of a large circle around the Gothic Quarter. We finally stopped at a little corner cafe next to the Santa Maria del Pi church called Giovanni where we had an amazing croissant and a so-so cafe…
Day 9: Barcelona
The last few days we’ve been getting going around 11 am which is when we’d get something for breakfast and a coffee. That wasn’t working too well for me since I wake up pretty early. So this morning, Sandy and I left Mom sleeping and we went to a small bakery for breakfast and coffee…
Day 8: Barcelona
We didn’t get going today until 11 am, and I was a bit ‘hangry’ by then. We went to Pasteleria Escriba and had croissants and coffee, and I felt right again. We had 12 pm tickets to tour Palau Güell, containing early work of Antoni Gaudi, and I’m here to tell you, it was stunning….
Day 7: Barcelona
Okay, I’m getting all caught up tonight! Here we go! We all woke up fairly early but still didn’t get out the door until a little after 9:30 am. We had a plan to go to the El Born neighborhood. On our way, we passed a delightful little coffee place where we all had a…
Days 5-6: Platja d’Aro and Barcelona
Day 5 We woke up in Playa de Aro, and it was raining. But it didn’t last too long. We managed to get ourselves down to the hotel breakfast around 10 am (it closed at 10:30 am). It was a buffet with meats, cheeses, breads, and some sausages and roasted tomatoes. It was very good,…
Day 4: Paris to Girona and Platja d’Aro
Alright! These last three have been pretty packed, and I haven’t had time to write at the end of the night. It’s now almost 11 pm at the end of day 6, and I’m pretty tired, so you’re only getting one day tonight. Let’s go! Day 4 We had to get up early in order…
Day 2-3: Paris
So it’s been like this: We are active at the start of the day and in the evening. It’s in the afternoon hours when we’re in the hotel relaxing that I have some time to spare to update. That’s why the posts include parts of two days. Today, though, will include all of day three!…
Greece to Germany (Chania > Athens > Munich) – day 10 (travel day)
We are now in Munich! It was a long travel day. As I mentioned, our transfer to the Chania airport left at 7 am. Once we arrived, we had about an hour or so before boarding. Sandy & I enjoyed croissants & cappuccinos and chatted with a couple of the ladies from the retreat before…
