Via Laietana...

Basically Barcelona's equivalent  to Saint Germain des Prés in Paris... just 100 times louder. Spanish people like to talk loudly, the French, not so much. 

Hotel Montcada...

Barcelona rooftops. Our hotel is in the very center of the gothic quarters. 

Is that... a tub? In Europe? 

Lanvin x H&M...

So I stopped by H&M on Boulevard Hausmann today with my sister looking for shoes for her. Much to my surprise sitting in a dusty back corner of the basement... The Lanvin collection! And as if it wasn't enough finding all these pieces a month after they were released and supposedly "Sold Out", they were on sale! I picked out a few things. Merry Christmas to me!

Metallic Leather Dress Shoes.

Merino Wool Sweat Pants. 

All I Want For Christmas...

Hopefully a French Bulldog dressed as Santa is under my tree next year... or wherever you put birthday presents under this July... 

Bye Andorra...

7am in France, looking at Andorra (somewhere up there in the mountains). 

Andorra Part 4...

Not quite sure what owls have to do with Andorra, but I do know that owls are my least favorite animal. 

I love the hand painted tiles that mark each house.

Andorra Part 3...

It was another beautiful day in Andorra; lots of sun, and flurries of snow. I ventured far away from where I had been skiing the past three days, to Grau Roig, and found where they hid all the difficult runs and good skiers. I tried some off piste today as well, since I could actually see the slopes. It only made me realize though that I'm too much of a racer to do it. Icy, groomed slopes are much more my style than powdery nature.
