Pictures from past 3 months

Just to recap: Jamie bought me/us a camera for Valentines Day/Holidays/because we needed one. Our old point and shoot camera was like 10megs, which is the same as my current phone... And I was photo editor of our high school yearbook and newspaper and really had enjoyed it, so she splurged into a digital SLR. Anyways, camera cord was lost (see below) and a replacement was just bought on eBay (£10, rather than £40 direct from Sony). Here's some pics to make up for lost time:


Bath: Jamie surprised me with a trip to Bath for Valentines Day. The train to Bath leaves from Paddington Station, so we took this pic and then had Krispy Kremes :) You can see the green draping which is part of the store in the background.


In Bath back in the day they had a window tax so they bricked up windows and made their houses look dumb:

Speaking of looking dumb, red tour bus headphones are sweet....This is us on the second day in front of the Abbey after a morning at the Bath Thermal Spas. No pics, but it was cool.

Moving on...The day after we got home from Bath we left for Spain!

This is the awesome place we found in this tiny little town called Tres Cales, about an hour south of Barcelona:

We did a bunch of lounging around as Zach is demonstrating here:
We didn't even make it to Barcelona; this was a proper holiday of doing as little as possible. We did visit this town called Tortosa which is near the mouth of the river Ebro, which is a huge important river in Northern Spain and many many miles upstream is also the river which the Rioja wine region lies on (a tributary river called the Oja is where the name comes from- rio oja = rioja)


We did make it to this cool castle which had been converted into a fort/artillery position during probably WWI or WWII. Here we are as a family looking through one of the old gun turrets
We also had a chance to visit Priorat, a tiny wine region with vines on steep slopes which make awesome grenache wines on par with the best Chateneuf de Papes. And equally as expensive. This is from one of the more industrial producers in Priorat, most are smaller operations, but all make some pretty awesome wine.

After this trip we got home and Brad started his job with Whole Foods which has been amazing ever since. I'll post some more pics of our Eater holiday next time. Maybe one day I'll catch up with current times...

Cheers!
