Exploring

Scheduled an extended layover in Frankfurt to ensure there were no connection snafus and decided to take advantage of the extra six hours to explore old town Frankfurt. Not the best time of day for pictures, but you can still see a bit of the old school charm!もっと詳しく

Just a quick note that I made it to Barcelona, Kate arrives tomorrow, and our vacation together starts! After a disastrous start, I’m ready to experience new and exciting places, eat their food, and sanitize my system with their drinks!
Pictured is the neighborhood bar near the hotel called Hoppiness! Patrons all appeared to be locals after a day of work. They brew their own beer and do it rather wellもっと詳しく

Meanwhile, in Santiago…

(this is Kate)

I’m in Santiago de Compostela, where I was to have finished the Camino de Santiago, met Neal, and then started my vacation as a tourist with him. Well. I got very ill at the end of the Camino and couldn’t finish. I took a train to Santiago to recover. Neal’s flight was canceled, so I’m here alone while he travels.

Once I stopped feeling sick and a little sorry for myself, I’ve been excited to think about finishing the Camino another year, and have been poking around Santiago. It felt great to get out and walk again today (7.5 miles), this time without a plan. I’m still eating quite cautiously, so I’ll have to save seafood extravagance for next time. My best meal here so far was tomatoes - amazing.

1. One of the courtyards at the beautiful parador of Santiago
2. Detail on building housing a primary school
3. Detail (crest?) on the Museo do Pobo Gallego, which was closed today
4. and 5. Views from a trail system in town. You can see the Cathedral on the right in 4.
6. Seen on my walk near a tunnel that went under a highway
7. This was almost literally a wall of blue hydrangeas next to some apartments
8., 9., 10. The famed Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela.もっと詳しく

Aimless Wanderings
2023年6月27日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
It felt really good to wake up this morning with more than 2 hours sleep! I can safely say that due to the lack of sleep the last couple of days, I am fully adjusted to the new time zone.

I spent most of the morning wandering the city. It started down at the beach to enjoy the sunrise, then off to find coffee! After a short break, I continued on towards the Cathedral de Barcelona (construction began in 1298). On the way, I visited the Cascada del Parc de la Ciutadella and then walked through the Basílica de Santa no Maria Del Mar (1329). While I didn’t have tickets to enter the Cathedral de Barcelona, I was thoroughly entertained by the people watching.

The return trip included a visit to the Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona (1888) before a beeline to my air conditioned room. While I am no Kate Pritchett, 6.5 miles was good prep for the walking beat down I am anticipating! ;)もっと詳しく

We crammed in a lot of sightseeing today! A Camino-sized walk - at least 13 miles! Not pictured: the Picasso museum

1. Checked off of the bucket list this morning: dipping a toe in the Mediterranean. Clear, blue, and warm(ish)!
2. Growing on a fence
3., 4., 5. At Park Güell, with wonderfully quirky structures, mosaics, etc. by Gaudí.
6., 7., 8. A few random examples of the Nouveau buildings here
9. We also walked down some VERY old narrow streets.
10. Lots of interest in the Parc de la Ciutadellaもっと詳しく

La Sagrada Familia
2023年6月28日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
(this is Kate; I’ll bet Neal will also post pics)

Our second stop today (after the beach) was Gaudí’s amazing Sagrada Familia cathedral. Ground was broken for construction in 1882, and they plan to finish it in 2026. It’s one of those tourist destinations that definitely lives up to the hype! I told Neal it reminded me of a Beethoven symphony: a recognizable iteration of the form, but expanded and embellished beyond what was imagined possible before.もっと詳しく

Neal:
Not much more to add about the cathedral. Just incredible. I tried to capture the scale of the building. I really wish we could have gone up the spiral staircase!

After the Sagrada Familia, we continued uphill to the Park Güell. I’m pretty sure Walt Disney had this in mind as he designed his parks. Sangria and tapas ended a long, hot, 13 mile day of sightseeing. Pic of our route does not include the 2 mile round trip to the beach!

Tomorrow is a 10am flight to Vienna, then two days of music geekness!もっと詳しく

Vienna, Day 1
2023年6月29日, オーストリア ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
We made the most of the day once we got to Vienna! Lunch, coffee and torte, Belvedere palace/art museum, sightseeing bus and wandering, dinner, and St. Stephen’s cathedral before a quick subway ride back to our apartment. I’m excited to do more tomorrow!

1., 2., 3. All from the Belvedere.
1. There were four large figures like this in the entrance hall.
2. Ceiling mural (fresco?). There were many of these.
3. Just a corner of a painting of which I didn’t grab the name or artist name. So much detail!
4. and 5. It’s novel to be in a place where the rock stars are classical musicians.
6. I love looking at the details on the old buildings. This could be a deodorant ad, no?
7.-10. Details on St. Stephens. Look for all of the weird little faces in 10.もっと詳しく

Neal:
Easy day of plane and train travel. The train was especially impressive (smooth, quiet, and comfortable). Lunch was at a restaurant across from the Wien train station as we waited to get into our room. While our accommodations are quite small, we don’t intend to spend much time in it. From there, we headed to the Schloss Belvedere to view their impressive collection of Klimt, then downtown to see a few more sights (Mozart’s apartment and St. Stephan’s Cathedral) and dinner at a craft brew house.

Enjoy the pic! Hopefully more to come from Kate.

P.S. - I may have had schnitzel for lunch and dinner.もっと詳しく

We had another busy day! Schloss Schonnbrun and its grounds, vegetarian restaurant for lunch, the Albertina museum, the national library, coffee (with whipped cream!!), the Secession building, and a long bus ride to see the Ferris wheel.

1. No photos allowed inside the castle, which was ornate in the extreme. Here’s one of the paths in the beautiful grounds.
2. Detail from a Matisse painting at the Albertina.
3. The Albertina is housed in a building that was one of the Hapsburgs’ homes. They’ve restored some of the rooms. Also very ornate!
4. and 5. From the national library.
6. The Secession Building (1898)
7. Panel from Klimt’s Beethoven frieze in the Secession building. This frieze is Klimt’s portrayal of Wagner’s interpretation of the final movement of Beethoven 9. Remarkable.もっと詳しく
