Although my posting can be considered less than frequent, as of late, it has become rather nonexistent. For those of you concerned with my livelihood, I am writing to calm your fears and tell you a bit about what I have been up to.
First of all, I went on a last minute holiday weekend trip to Barcelona a couple of weekends ago. The ticket was offered to me the night before our departure, and given the tremendous deal I was presented, I couldn't pass it up.
I really enjoyed my time in Barcelona. The city was beautiful and very interesting, and there was a variety of things to see and do: The beach, museums, Sagrada Familia, food, wine, and street performers. Although we had a three day weekend, I wish I could have had more time to see everything I wanted to in the city. Therefore, if anyone is interested in a trip to Barcelona, name the time (as long as it is before August) and I'm there. On a side note, I would just like to applaud the fine holiday makers in the UK for their generosity (I don't even know if there was a reason for the three day weekend).
While I'm not traveling, I spend most of my time working. Things around the office have picked up quite a bit, and I never have enough time to complete everything I want to get done. Other than work, I have been watching movies that came out in the US months ago, trying out restaurants, visiting various clubs, and generally just relaxing.
I look forward to some friends visiting me here in Leeds in the next month or so. While they are here, I have plans to go to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, and Paris. Any suggestions of other must see cities in Europe are always appreciated as well.
if and when the stress builds to unbearable levels, i'd visit cinque terre. it might take a day to get there and another to get back, but the day in-between is priceless.
