Grace has been on me to make a post, so here it is.

The last few days were spent in Paris. I cannot say how much we enjoyed this city. I´m trying to find a way to focus this entry, but so much worth telling comes to mind. So, in order to keep this (relatively) brief here are two memorable event:

Topping the list of our time in Paris, was (you guessed it), our visit with Clement. For those of you that don´t know, Clement is our former professor and, more relevant to this post, a true Parisian. Our day with Clement turned into a casual insiders tour through the streets of Paris, interrupted briefly by two gallery trips and a lovely lunch at one of Paris´ older, more traditional restaurants. All of this was hand picked by big C himself. We could not have felt luckier. Even streets we had traversed the previous day found new life as Clement pointed out rough dates of buildings, or the significance of certain monuments and plazas. I am sure this day will remain in our minds as one of the highlights of the coming year. Thank you Clement.

The second memorable event, though not so epic, occurred during our first stay in a dorm at a youth hostel. In fact, I should do well to tell you that our second most memorable thing in Paris is but a single phrase offered up by Buddy, a fellow traveler who has just found himself in Paris.
The memorable phrase is as follows:

¨So, Paris, eh? Is there anything to do around here?¨

We´re in Barcelona now, and we have said goodbye to Buddy (sadly), but he has since provided all sorts of laughter when we begin to feel tired.

I imagine Grace will update soon as to our time in Spain so far.
