Update - Toledo Trip & Blogger Status

Hello everyone,

Well I bet you are all wondering what has been happening with the blog. I am very sorry to say that it does not look like blogger plans on fixing the problem with the pictures. Because of this I think this will be the very last blog I place onto this website. From here on out we will be blogging on the new blog I am creating located at www.Mccormacks.Wordpress.com .

But before we go, let me give you a run down on what has been happening here in Barcelona.

The last couple of weeks have gone fairly well. The city has been nice, not great, but OK. We have settled into our apartment and everything is taken care of there (although we still have no internet, something that is driving me crazy!) Since we arrived, we have done fairly little as far as entertainment, as I have started school and Laura has been taking care of the apartment and getting ready to return for her interviews.

When I say we have done fairly little in the way of entertainment, that is in exception of the last weekend, when our friends Truman and Lauren visited. We had a great time with them, and made a trip to Toledo. Toledo is a very neat city, and I wish I could show you the pictures, but I will have to wait for the new blog.

Some fun facts about Toledo. It started as a Roman trade hub for the region, and for a time was the capital of Spain, until about the mid 1500's. Now the entire city is treated as a national monument, and much is maintained from the old traditional infrastructure. They have an incredible cathedral that we really enjoyed.

Today is Wednesday, and my sister and her friend Debbie arrived this morning. We will be spending the days today and tomorrow in the city, and then leave for Seville for the weekend. Then Laura and I will come back to Barcelona, and Robin and Debbie will continue to Granada and Madrid to visit an old friend. Immediately upon our return Laura departs for the states, and I will be left here alone for maybe a month. =^(

That’s about it for now. School has been great, although quite challenging. I have a class on Investment Banking which the professor treats as a trading floor, complete with yelling at the students who do not know the answers immediately. It is a bit stressful, but entertaining and I am learning a lot.

We hope you are all well back in the states, our loyal readers. Thanks for staying patient with our blog during the pause, and we promise we will get those pictures coming as soon as possible.

Bye!
