My friend Dan has been visiting for these past few weeks so apologies for the lack of posts. I just left him in Barcelona this morning and he flies back to the states tomorrow (I can imagine he's not looking forward to returning to DC anymore than I wanted to head back to work this morning).
Last weekend in London, we went out for the big Chelsea vs Munich soccer final on Saturday - which was a very neat experience since I live in Chelsea so everyone was out rooting for the local team. Oddly enough I even ran into a guy I went to high school with in Lexington! It was very random - but quite funny. We then went to see the Avengers on Sunday (great movie!) - I know you're thinking I'm a horrible tour guide to go see a movie - but he'd done the tourist thing all week while I was in Wales so it was great to relax on the weekend.
We just spent the weekend in Barcelona (his first time, my second trip) - and a city that I love. It was a great weekend of sunshine and we enjoyed some time on the beach making friends with anyone that spoke english as well as a catamaran cruise on Sunday. For only 2 days it felt like an amazingly refreshing little tropical holiday!
