Something Different

Posted on November 26, 2016 by If It Was Today

Today we took it easy – even by our standards. Our guide book includes a number of self-guided walking tours, so we decided to check out the walk through the area where we are staying. I’ve already covered many of … Continue reading →

Posted on November 25, 2016 by If It Was Today

Some people approach travel like a to-do list, working hard to cross as many locations as possible off their list. We take a different approach. It’s fun to pretend, however briefly, that we live in a city. Try to experience … Continue reading →

Sagrada Familia

Posted on November 22, 2016 by If It Was Today
