We started with an 8 hour flight to Amsterdam. Canyon decided to watch 5 movies and not sleep. When we got to Amsterdam, the boys were pooped and we all took some siestas on the airport benches.
And then we arrived in Barcelona!!! Our pals, the Francos, live in Barcelona. They picked us up from the airport and took us to the apartment we are renting in Eixample, which is the core of the city's nervous system. We walked along Rambla de Catalunya and Passeig De Gracia to enjoy our first tapas adventure as a family at Trotamundo Tapas. They helped us enjoy some of the traditional favorites like patates braves (fried potatoes with spicy sauce and aioli sauce), Pa amb Tomaquet (bread topped with garlic, tomato, and olive oil), mussels, and calamari (both grilled and fried). Such a yummy start to our Spanish adventure!
On our way home we caught our first glimpse of one of Gaudi's masterpieces along Passeig De Gracia.
The kids enjoyed climbing on top of the Spanish mailboxes.
And Ron is in heaven as he can play his guitar on our elegant balcony overlooking the beautiful streets of Eixample. A great start to our trip!
