  • london (again)

    august 1 - 3 we took a short flight back to London, because it was almost time to go home. we went back to The Tate Modern because it was open late (and free.) and besides that, it was pretty low-key. i ha…

  • barcelona

    july 27 - 31 three trains and thirteen hours later, we finally arrived in Barcelona. Barcelona was my favorite place of the entire trip, hands down. good food, good art, good people. good architecture, good beaches…
