Park Guell

ark Guell is Gaudi’s outdoor barcelona park.  It’s relaxing, picturesque… and a great place for a pitcher of sangria.

Spain!

On Thursday, I leave for a week and a half vacation to Spain.  This will be my first "first world" international vacation in a while…  (Actually since I went to Barcelona & Prague four and half years ago. )

I’m looking forward to simply relaxing and enjoying the beauty (and wine) of Spain.  On the other hand, I’m so NOT looking forward to  the dollar <-> euro exchange rate.

The plan is split time between Barcelona and San Sebastian, with a side trip to see the Guggenheim in Bilbao.

I’m also making planning on taking a lot of pictures.  :) 

However, I’ve got a new resolution to take my time post-processing them when I get back.  I usually just rush through it, and end up getting burnt out on.  So, expect a long trickle of Spanish Photography!
