spain, we love you.

we are now in madrid and despite the rain, we're having a great time.  fun fact: rain is a great excuse to check out those indoor tours that always seem to take a backseat to sitting on our bums in a park.  that being said, we spent a few hours in the royal palace of madrid today.  

here are a few snaps from our time in barcelona {and a day trip to girona} this past week.  so much fun.

also, i have to say how happy i am with our apartments during this vacation: we found them through way to stay and we've been so pleased with the apartments themselves, but also with the people running this operation.  if you're headed to europe anytime soon, check them out.

can it get any better?

we are looking forward to the next few days here in madrid, hopefully heading to toledo tomorrow and segovia on saturday.

life is so good.
