Barcelona with Kate!

So Katie writes me, in typical Katie-style, that she will be a 1-hour plane trip from my home the following week. After a brief crisis involving shock and disbelief, I bought my ticket for Barcelona... so here we are!! It was great! Helado. We spared ourselves no special treatment.
Park Guell...

Doesn't she look stressed?

Surreal clouds... Cafe con leche. A daily must.

This is the tough life i was leading when I learned I got a 2-year teaching-research position at the university!

The tiniest pear dessert imaginable...

La Boqueria market. Fresh fruit and cured ham abound.
