Spain for was food and food and food and friends. Jamon, sangria, jamon, tapas, pimentos,tomatoes, gazpacho, manchega cheese, lamb, suckling pig, and the Foleys.
The 4 kids did it with gusto. Often leading the pack as we walked the streets looking for more food. Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Granada, Andalucar, Malaga and more.
We ate in the oldest restaurant in the world. We saw the jaw dropping church in Toledo. The Alhambra in Granada. The Prado in Madrid. The Picasso museum in Barcelona- followed my the Mammoth museum so everyone was happy.
We had lots of ice cream, breakfast pastries, and again jamon.
The market in Barcelona was great. Cole liked the brain, but they liked the candy stands best. Look at that leg/butt of yes…jamon.
We looked for Lynx- saw none but did see Ibex- and rode statues.
There was sword making and buying swords from the last hand maker of swords left in Toledo. Thanks Lara for looking that up.
Pottery making with the famous green glaze p0tters in Ubeda- PacoTico.
There was crazy tourist stuff and even a bouncy castle.
Lots of forts, castles, walking in Moorish villages, and shhhhhhhh shhhhhh no talking, be quiet kids….
Best friends and brothers walking the streets. Many times at midnight since dinner was a 10. Way to go kids at adjusting to Spanish lifestyle.
Flamenco dancing past midnight in a dark bar.
Utter exhaustion at siesta time even if we are driving. Bad mom and dad letting Cole sleep in the floor.
Gaudi and his take on nature was a favorite of ours.
David working with ughhh ivory even in Spain
but positive words to live by.
Thanks Foleys for a trip we will remember for a lifetime.
