| Famous church. Amazing architecture |
I've slowed down on my blogging due to
Life happenings.
I'm sure you understand.
I want to begin where I left off on our last European journey ...
The train from Valencia to Barcelona was scenic and very enjoyable.
Ticket included a nice little breakfast and COFFEE!
Once we arrived in Barcelona,
it was easy to travel to our hotel via taxi.

The hotel was nice. Hot breakfast was available in their cafe.
Our days were filled with touring the beautiful city
and hanging out near the port and the beach.

Of course, Rob found an authentic Tex Mex restaurant just around the corner.
The owners were from Texas and had moved to Barcelona many years ago.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming,
so we returned again before leaving for Sweden.

I was determined to walk Las Ramblas
where the terrorist attack happened last August 17th.
I spoke with a young man who made his living by
transporting tourists in his bicycle-buggy.
transporting tourists in his bicycle-buggy.
He still feared driving up and down the walkway
so I encouraged him to take it slow.
"By you just showing up here daily shows that you are
overcoming your fear a step at a time."
He smiled at my encouraging words.

From Las Ramblas, we walked the bridge to the beautiful port of Barcelona,
ate lunch, and sat on a bench to 'people watch',
one of my favorite pastimes.

| Port of Barcelona. Yachts galore! |

| We spent two days basking in the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea. |
We had perfect weather in Italy and Spain.
Our next stop will be Sweden.
Cloudy, rainy, and cold,
but oh so nice after many days of very warm weather.
I have details of this journey on my Facebook page.
(Food, places to stay, etc.)
Our next stop will be Sweden.
We'll be flying to Stockholm to visit friends for 10 days.
Until then,
Wherever you travel,
take time to smell the roses, the salt air, the pine trees
and most important,
stop to chat with the people that God has placed in your path.
I wish you oceans of travel blessings,
wherever you are!
For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son.
that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
