We learned today that our fathers had never had craft cocktails. Never. That’s part of Kate and I’s food triangle. This was something we obviously needed to remedy. Luckily, we have a favorite cocktail bar in Barcelona, the Collage Cocktail Bar. We started off with what was on the menu (which by no means is […]

Unexpected

It turns out My dad is a big Dali fan. We started with a tour of Girona, where some cool Game of Thrones scenes were filmed. Dad had to climb a bunch of stairs, but he Lanisterred his way to the top. We then set out to Figures to the Dali museum. I feared my […]

A bit of everything

Oscar and Felix

In addition to the updates, he provided us with some extra […]
