Old bridges to a tiny country to a "unique" cathedral

We left our little town in France and drove up to the Pyrenees mountains. It was a really beautiful drive! Lots of very old castles and little villages. We had lunch in one of the old villages.

Old village

You can tell that the mountains are pretty steep :-)

It was late when we arrived at our next destination, Escaldes, Andorra. Such a tiny tiny country that reminded me of the ski resorts in the Alps. We woke up to a beautiful view of the mountain!!

This morning we continued our trip to Spain and our next stop Benicassim, Spain. Due to making several stops on the way we arrived late today, too. However, the drive was, again, beautiful and we made a longer stop in Barcelona where we looked at the cathedral La Sagrada Familia and Marlee and Noah could play a little in a playground. They started building the cathedral in 1882 and are still working on it... Too many siestas? ;-)

We also accidentally saw a 2000 year old bridge when Marlee needed a pee break :-)

Back to the EU again!

And of course the Spanish customs wanted to check our car. They were very friendly however!

Castle in Spain

We have been ridiculously lucky with the traffic (knock on wood!) and have seen backed up traffic on the other side of the road at least five times during our trip. Today it happened twice (it is Saturday so no rush hour).

The extremely strange cathedral in Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia. It was difficult to get good pictures of it so google it!

He is great at monkey bars! :-)

An aqueduct built by the Romans 2000 years ago!!!

So how are we doing!? Well we are doing pretty good. The boys are being such troopers as always and Gabriel is doing so much better than I expected. My hardest part with him is to make sure he gets some decent food since he does not eat anything from a (baby) jar.
