Just when we thought spring had sprung... The cherry blossoms were out, tiny green leaves were peaking out of the trees, daylight savings time had started...and then...we woke up April 6th to snow!
Far from LA. The first time Sarah had seen snow outside her own home.
This is the top of our road. Cute, brr!
We got out of bed, bundled up and went for a 'winter' walk through the country.
And made friends with some friendly (I think because they were hungry) horses.
It is now 5pm, and most of the snow has melted. The snow was fun but we are really ready for spring. Sarah leaves for Philadelphia Tuesday for a $250 million pitch! She is most excited about the King of Prussia mall however...when you shop with dollars it's half price right?
Hmmmm, snow has started up again. Fingers crossed spring comes soon.
We were very excited for our first weekend trip in Europe - made possible by the Easter holiday schedule as only done in the commonwealth...a 4 day weekend the perfect opportunity to alight to the warmer end of the continent, if only slightly, we avoided freezing rain at least!
We were amazed at how well contemporary design worked here - inside and out it was strikingly beautiful, tastefully done, well represented, and fitting just right... guided by our wallpaper guide and a few good maps we did the city right and had a great time!
A few highlights...
MACBA housed incredible contemporary installations - the pigeon race for Latvia was a favorite...
Santa Caterina Mercado - the most beautiful working market we've ever seen. Incredible produce, meats, whole pigs and legs of lamb...espresso bars serving locally sourced goods...absolutely delightfully modern...
Sagrada Familia...the most trippy Cathedral ever. Going to be incredible when finished, and already is in so many ways.... If you've never heard of Gaudi...look up his stuff:
