Braving the Coast

"Costa Brava" doesn't actually mean "brave coast," but I liked the sound of the title. It means "wild coast" which is probably the best way to describe this weekend.

All of us piled into charter buses and traveled to Costa Brava. We visited Girona, Figueres, and Collioure, spending our time sightseeing, lounging, and enjoying the Mediterranean.

Pictures say more than words, so if you'd like to know about the trip, visit my Facebook. A few highlights/noteworthy things:

- I do not know how to speak French, at all. The trip to Nantes will be interesting...
- The Mediterranean Sea is so, so salty; after diving in, my eyeballs felt like they were going to shrivel up and die
- Finally got to see the Spain I had imagined — narrow streets, tranquility, and endless beaches
- Danced, a lot a lot a lot.
- So many siestas on the bus
- Didn't even order a crepe while in French Catalonia! Regrets.
- Dali is amazing - went to the museum and am still in awe
- Uploading photos...now.... oy vay

Clearly, I'm feeling a bit lazy with this post... on another note, today the kiddos back at school start classes! Welcome to your first day, Broncos!
