Hola!
Today we went to the International Church of Barcelona again, and really enjoyed it. There was another new family there from Pennsylvania, and the pastor's wife just returned from being in Pennsylvania for a month for the birth of their granddaughter. Too funny! And did I tell you about the woman from Philadephia? I met her the other week, and she said she came to visit Barcelona 50 years ago and never went back! I couldn't believe it. She knew all about Lancaster. Anyway, after church we met Josep, Teresa & Joan at a nice park near the church. They brought us panallets, which were excellent. They are a traditional cookie made by the Catalonians around Halloween.
We then went for an excursion on a double-decker open-air bus that the kids have been wanting to do. It was actually a great way to see a lot of the city, and if you had a lot of time and energy you could get on and off the bus and do a TON of things in a day. We really enjoyed seeing La Sagrada Familia, the Old Port, more of Montjuic, and of course the FC Barcelona stadium. :) For part of the trip we sat in the front of the upper deck which the kids just loved. Here are some photos of today.
Some other highlights of the week were that (1) Brian came home Wednesday night for a couple days, (2) Caroline & I had a little outing in Sitges Friday night which was VERY fun; we explored more of the old town area near San Sebastian beach which is just gorgeous, went to a market near the church, to the library, and ended the evening with some chocolate croissants, and (3) we finally got phone/internet service at the house yesterday!
Hope you all are well!
Love,
Tonya
