I’ve been away from the blog for a while but I’m back and with exciting news – today, my parents and I leave for Barcelona, Spain to visit my younger sister who is studying abroad there.  I’ve been to Europe before, more than once, but this is the first time that I will ever visit Spain – and the first time that my pallet is sophisticated enough to handle (or even care about) foreign cuisine.

My first excursion?  Spanish wine.  I’ll even have a glass (or two) on the international flight over there.  Tapas will be next – all sorts, just throw ’em at me!  Traditional paella and some of the best chocolate in the world are definites.  Gelato.. must have in large quantities.

More details to come.. for now, Viva Espana!
