Ultimate Sophistication

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" 
~ Leonardo da Vinci

Too many times we chase after goals, and left happiness behind. The next appointment, the next thing on the ever growing to do list, the next vacation, the next new purchase, the list never ends. On this snowed in morning, it really re-focuses me of what is truly important, to my surprise I already have everything I needed. 

   

Barcelona~ Eateries & Allies Dairy

It was such a pleasure to visit a city with passionate culture, vibrant architecture, and mouth watering tapas. We spent our first day wandering the allies of Gothic Quarters. We felt transported back in time in the maze of old cobble stone streets, listening to rapid foreign conversations. Restaurants hoping is one of our favourite past times and Barcelona is the perfect backdrop for just that. Plates of fresh tapas are lined up perfectly waiting for you to devour them. You can just enter a tapa bar, grab a plate and help your self to a table. All you need to keep are the toothpicks so that the host can count how many tapas you've ate.

Day two was spent exploring Park Güell, a housing complex designed by the genius architect Gaudi. It has an abundance of naturalistic elements and free from rigid constraints. He built this during the English garden movement and thus the name " Park".  As you walk through the park you can  really feel that it is amalgamated with the natural surroundings.

Next stop was a food market.
