How many weeks for vacation?

Two. Two beautiful weeks in April.

What is one to do?
Where should one go?

Thanks to the low prices of RyanAir, I am going on my first SpringBreak! vacation. Now because it is RyanAir, I had to be open to new and interesting destinations.

Saturday, April 12 - Tuesday, April 15 : London, England
Tuesday, April 15 - Monday, April 21 : Riga, Latvia (with a bus trip to Estonia or Lithuania)
Monday, April 21 - Sunday, April 27 : Dublin and Galway, Ireland

The Baltic States was an interesting choice, but, hey, one should dare to try something new and different every now and then.


Ciao et bisous!

P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
But I'm mostly cubana, so let's turn on some Buena Vista Social Club and relax.
May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!

An unfinished masterpiece...

La Sagrada Familia is magnificant. Its history is rich. Its size and detail are inspiring. This church dominates the city from almost any viewpoint. The cranes that surround it peak out from in between the city blocks and in the tiniest of pauses in the daily life of the city, one can hear the clang of metals tools working. The first time I saw it, I only walked around the outside. The second time, I went up into the towers and saw the city, the mountains and felt a little dizzy when looking down.











To find out more about la Sagrada Familia and its architect Gaudi, type it into Google and go from there. I'm working on making up from the lag in posting. ;)

Adios, amigos y amigas!

Falling in love with Spanish skies...

These three pictures were taken in the Barrio Gotico in Barcelona. I do not think the sky could have been more bewitching. Walking around in this quarter of the city makes one feel as if they have stepped back into another century. It is full of narrow, winding streets and it does not matter which one you take (left, right or straight), you will find yourself back on the bustling streets of the modern city encircling it.


Yo amo la ciudad Barcelona...sobre todo los cielos apasionados. Son como una fantasma de la belleza.

Adios a todos!
Ciao et bisous!
