Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona, Spain.
I've been dying to go to Barcelona since watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I'm a little obsessed with Scarlett Johansson. A little. Thanks to Richard, I got to see her on Broadway in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Oh happy day.

Favorite Memory
On our last night in Barcelona, we walked to the Gothic Quarter and bought a variety of cheeses, meats and wine from a local grocery store. We then followed the La Rambles down to the water and sat on a bench, watching the moon glisten over the water as both tourists and locals strolled down the walk way. We sat there, on that bench, for several hours sipping wine while talking about our last 5 years of marriage. It was a memory I will never forget.
