Girona, Spain

Girona is the next destination on our trip.  Girona is about an hour outside of Barcelona.  We wanted to be close to Barcelona, yet far enough away to escape and relax after a busy day.  Another consideration was the fact that we are leasing a vehicle and I do not want to drive in Barcelona.  As you can see, Girona is very picturesque:

We rented an apartment in the old quarter of Girona in a building that used to be a monastery.  In fact, there is a medieval cave in the apartment:

We understand that there are some cool bike tours around and through Girona:

Hopefully Ella will be competent enough on a bike by then.  Otherwise, I will have to try and arrange a tandem bike.

Cristin is the only one of us that has already visited Barcelona, so she has some insight on places to visit.  Personally, I have been waiting to visit the Sagrada Familia since Art History class at Red Deer College:

We will likely have some beach time and museum trips.  Cristin would really like to travel to Bilbao to the Guggenheim Museum, which would be amazing.  Unfortunately, it is a 6 hour drive from Girona [the domestic flights appear to be really cheap and might be an option]:

Once again, if anyone has any suggestions on things to see and places to visit, please let us know.

Sit vis vobiscum.
