Even though it's really late here and I should be in bed, I was overcome by curiosity to take a look at your honeymoon blog and I am so glad I did! It was so great to read your impressions of Barcelona and to know you and G loved the place as much as I did! I will leave you a comment on your blog tomorrow! Thanks for the heads-up S, you've done such a great job with the write-up and the photos...a real pleasure to read!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-54281996862796043882011-10-05T14:36:36.665-04:002011-10-05T14:36:36.665-04:00Hi Lotus!

G and I were in Europe this summer for our honeymoon, and I blogged the trip too - thought it would be a nice way to remember all the things we did a few years from now. Here's the link http://sruthiandgautam.blogspot.com/2011/06/day-1-stopover-in-london-and-barcelona.html to the first entry from our honeymoon blog if you're interested. We did a road trip from Barcelona to Rome. Hope you're doing great, and happy travels!:)Smoothieshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301956210438081195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-7765039267476820522011-09-28T12:33:31.832-04:002011-09-28T12:33:31.832-04:00Birdy, I am OVERJOYED to see you!!!

Yes, I would have to say the Catalonians think very differently from the rest of Spain and they take great pride in doing so. Now let's hope the rest of Spain follows suit!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-62795116310903161102011-09-28T12:27:08.885-04:002011-09-28T12:27:08.885-04:00Hey Tim and thank you!

I've never watched a bullfight either on TV or for real, I'm much too chicken...but my bro-in-law went to one in Barcelona a few years ago and said, "never again"!!! <br /><br />I'm so glad they're done with bullfighting in Catalonia. It wasn't even a profit-making venture for them - apparently more than half the seats in the arena always went empty and tourists were the main ticket buyers.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-41114603101705474432011-09-28T01:12:55.082-04:002011-09-28T01:12:55.082-04:00Hi Lotus!

I watched a bullfight on tv in Toledo and struggled with the experience. I still don't like thinking about it. Another home run with the great pics and commentary, Angie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
