Palm trees

And rainbows. I think I can get used to this.

Madrid Spain

So we spent Christmas in Spain, first a few days in Madrid then the remainder in Barcelona.  Not sure the exact story but the bear eating the fruit pictured above is in someway the symbol of Madrid.  It is a very lively city and the Christmas markets are so much more of a party than any where else we've been in Europe.  Here are a few pictures from around the city.

Rainbow over Budapest

Not a great picture but still cool to see a rainbow over Budapest on this rather warm winter day.

Milan Italy

Over memorial day weekend we took a 4 night cruise.  It left out of Savona, Italy and the easiest way for us to get there was to fly to Milan and take cruise arranged transfer from the airport.  Rather than rush things we flew in the day before our cruise and we are so glad we did.  The Duomo is one of the most amazing churches we've seen since we've been here and if you've been to Europe you know they know how to do churches.  It is right up there with Notre Dame in Paris for me but sadly no pictures are allowed in side, so you'll just have to come check it our for yourself.  We didn't have too much time here but would be a city that I would go back to for sure.
Next stop, Barcelona!
