Spain!

Well, I looked at my blog and realized that I had all but finished this Spain post, but just had never published it. Here goes:

Spain was a delightful surprise. Not that I ever thought Spain would be bad - just that I had never imagined that it'd be so wonderful!

If I hadn't set foot in Lucerne just a week before, I'd say that Barcelona was the most beautiful city I've ever seen.

It started with the cutest hostel we've been in!

 After having lived in Europe and navigated through ~10 cities' public transport systems, I conclude that my absolute favorite form of transportation is the subway.. and by far the most convenient and clean one is the one in Barcelona!

This subway map brings me great joy :)

 Let me just say that we ate a LOT in Spain. The pictures you will see in this post are just a fraction of the deliciousness we ACTUALLY experienced ;)

Bryan's jamon iberico! I think he would like to say "take that!" to his somewhat cruel (but still wonderful) family

Mmmmmmmmm

for some reason this was a REALLY well-made egg, and I've eaten about 5000 of these guys before...

Delicious Cod in a really yummy tomato-based sauce

Horchata and orange juice!

Tapas foods

Bryan crossed El Camino Del Rey, one of the world's most dangerous pathways while I stayed back in El Azul Guesthouse watching corny dog movies.

I left off the blog at the previous post because my wonderful traveling partner, Bryan, writes a spectacular blog on our adventures from his point of view.
