As promised, more of the travel pics I’ve taken: this is Park Güell.. a somewhat magical park located a tad more inland in Barcelona. It was more of a trek than I bargained for – having to climb a massive amount of stairs (thankfully there were escalators to carry me up! – most of which were functioning), and the park itself was simply gigantic and beautiful… :

My parents are a prime example of this: they may (look like they) drive each other nuts, but would in reality go quite crazy without the other. All relationships have their balance, and when you truly love someone you strive to maintain it, if it is what you really want. Here’s to that! : )

This just in from my hometown of Bad Reichenhall, Germany: snow in April for Easter!
Before any butchering of the pronunciation commences, please copy and paste the city name into Google Translate and take a listen (it’s really not a “Bad” as it appears!) : )
As I sat on the 80*+ patio and received these pictures, I realized how fortunate I am to be sweltering rather than shoveling! Beautiful photos, and they definitely make me long for long hikes through the mountains, the crisp forest air, the beauty of the magnificent & towering “Schlafende Hexe” (the mountain pictured), and the people who are dear to me who live there. It’d definitely be difficult to find an easter egg in that snow!
Happy Easter =:”)
