Park Guell & Mount Tibidabo, Barcelona
We spent much of our final day in Barcelona at elevation. We started our morning with a trip to Park Guell, which I had also visited once before on my prior trip to Spain, but this is such an iconic site in the city that I wanted Mr. Chuckles to see it as well. I…

Being coastal, I figured that San Francisco would be a top spot for seafood, so I sought to eat as much sushi as…

South Bank, Tate Modern, & County Hall
We returned from our trip to the Cotswolds for another couple days of exploring in London. My horrible cold had reared its ugly head again overnight, and I awoke feeling groggy and queasy.
