Well, it's been a few months since our last update and now 2013 is upon us. Last year was such an experience, I can't even sum it up in words. We experienced so much, covered thousands of kilometers, tried a hundred new foods and just tried to soak it all up. Our lives are forever changed, for the better. Looking back, I have no idea how we managed through it all. We shared so many great stories on this blog but there were also lots of challenging times too. I...

So, we've been slacking off lately!!! But we finally got the Belgium post uploaded. We loved Belgium and would encourage everyone to go there and enjoy the food and drinks and scenery. Belgium Leaving behind the heat of Spain Yasmin and I were thankful to arrive in Belgium. We flew on the discount airline Ryanair which was horrible.

On this bus we got to see the FCBarcelona stadium, the Olympic village, the works of Gaudi around the city along with many parks and churches. This was also a great way to see some modern residential areas outside the city center. The only downside was that just like the rest of Spain,...

Seville We arrived in Seville after a 5 hour bus tide from Lagos. The driver was not a nice person, he wouldn't allow anyone to go for a washroom break or eat. I don't know what his problem was, but he almost left a guy behind when he repeated that he needed to use the bathroom at one of our 5 stops. He even made a 4 year old boy pee on a tree by the road while we all watched after the mom flipped out. We had to sneak little bites of our sandwiches. ...
