Finally Updates!!

Ok, ok, ok, so this has taken me longer than I anticipated! Naturally I've come back to a mountain of work and let's just say that Andrea's relentless demands for chocolate ice cream and foot massages has kept my remaining moments happily occupied! Ahhh bliss...so returning to our most recent adventures in Barcelona, Berlin and Amsterdam let me recap said adventures with some happy pix. Barcelona, as evidently anyone who has ever visited agrees, is one of the most beautiful of European cities. With its winding, baroque gothic quarter, replete with narrow alleys, off-beat stores, too-cool for Ohio bars and cafes and more hipsters than the lion's gate end of third beach on a Friday in August this place was awesome. Oh yes and that dumb conference thing that interrupted most of my days there was ok too.
