Spain Wedding Pictures – Sevilla and Barcelona

Our final days in Spain were spent wandering around Sevilla and spending time with the family there, and two days in Barcelona before we flew home to San Francisco. Though there aren’t as many pictures some of them are quite good. Here they are. You can view other photos from our adventures in Castelló d’Empúries, Sevilla and Granada in the photo galleries.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I loved taking them and experiencing these places. Thanks!

Spain Wedding Pictures – Granada

The third set of photos from our Spanish wedding/honeymoon are up. These are all from our trip to Granada. Granada was an amazing place, if only for Alhambra. Alhambra is the kind of place I’d heard often, “It’s amazing, you’re gonna love it.” Enough people said it that I thought, Well, it’s probably pretty good but I’ve seen a lot of the world in my lifetime so we’ll see. I have to say the Alhambra was a stunning experience for me. Almost every surface is a work of art, and to think that it was a place where people lived, worked, loved and died, living their lives.

If Granada was just the Alhambra it would be worth the visit, but the whole city was amazing, from the steep hill and narrow streets of whitewashed Albaicín to visiting the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferran (Fernando to you Spanish only folks), to the food and the simultaneously modern and medieval feel. There were a lot of tourists but once you ignored them (and it didn’t take me too long) Granada is a wonderful place to visit.

You can view the previous pictures from Sevilla and Castelló d’Empúries.

Spain Wedding Pictures, Part One

I’m going to start posting pictures from the trip to Spain. These are a mix of pictures from the camera and the iPhone. I’m dividing the pictures into sets. This first one is all in Castelló d’Empúries, which is where the wedding took place. After that will be pictures from the honeymoon in three sets, Sevilla, Granada, and then a few days in Sevilla and Barcelona.

The first set, from Castelló d’Empúries, is here. There aren’t as many pictures of family and friends as I would like, but we were hyper busy and distracted most of the time. I admit, I’m surprised I remembered to take any pictures at all…

The Cat Days of Summer

Gone are the cat days of summer. After the extreme (for San Francisco) heat wave we just went through, the temperature is finally cooling down. I can sit in the living room and not sweat for moving a finger. If I never live to see 90º+ weather again, I will dance. Since obviously this is an impossibility so long as I avoid the arctic poles, you will not get to see me dance and I will just suffer through it all.

Pan Con Tomate

Pan con tomate, also known as pa amb tomàquet, is a delicious Catalan food… Simple, distinct and brilliant. Basically, toast some thick country bread, scrape garlic on it, rub tomato over the surface, sprinkle a good amount of olive oil over the top and a bit of salt (and maybe pepper if you’re into that). Like I said, simple, distinct and brilliant. This was Rosa’s recent batch when we had friends over.

Someone Got a New Toy

I have to admit I didn’t think this would happen when we first started dating but as time progressed, Rosa expressed more interest in riding. She took the class and passed, looked at various motorcycles, and settled on the green and white Triumph Bonneville T100.

Congratulations, Rosa! I can’t wait (but I will, patiently) till we can go on our first road trip!
