Hola Barcelona!!

Hola!
We are back in France after a quick but wonderful trip to the beautiful city of Barcelona!
Since our last post we have been quite the tourists, getting to see many famous attractions in a short period of time.
Tuesday we went to see Le Pont du Gard and also went to Avignon and saw the famous Pont d'Avignon and Le Palais des Papes! And yes, we did dance while singing "sur le pont d'Avignon on'y danse..."

Wednesday we headed off to Barcelona! Kudos to Dad for all he has done to set up this great adventure and all of our little mini ones along the way!! We are so thankful and blessed to be able to do all of this.

After we checked into our hotel, we headed to the Sagrada Familia which is a beautiful basilica built 131 years ago. We were all overcome by its beauty. It was truly a blessing to be able to go and see it for ourselves after having heard so many wonderful things about it. Definitely the one place you must visit if you are ever in Barcelona.

Afterwards, we treated ourselves to some delicious subs and Starbucks and enjoyed everything Spain had to offer from the cosiness of our beautiful hotel room... Typical North Americans.

Today (thursday) we got an early start to the day and ate breakfast down by the Mediterranean Sea. After some food and a little walking on the beach, we got in the car and drove over to the Montijuich Palace which is apparently where the Cheetah Girls go in one of their movies...

After stopping at an outlet and walking away with nothing but a new soccer ball for Connor, we rushed home to get back in time for Mom to get all prettied up for her big night out with a group of fellow "English" women she met the other day. She is still out gallivanting as we speak while the rest of us are sitting at home in our pjs watching Devil Wears Prada and eating cereal.
I hate to brag, but I am feeling pretty darn lucky right now.
Life really is good, although I do wish you were all here with us... I swear I'm not just saying that ;)

Bonsoir!
Avec amour,
Les Kimpinskis
