OK, this whole blogging thing didn’t get off to a very promising start. Its been kind of lame. I would like to point out that I warned everyone of this in my very first Two-Passports post. Of course, predicting lameness and lack of posting in your very first post turned out to be a pretty good predictor of actual lameness and lack of posting. New Manifesto: from this point forward I will put something up every single day until ETERNITY.
OK Probably not. That may be the jet lag talking right there. I will try to post regularly for the next three weeks as part of the “Two-Passports Tour of Southern Spain Campaign” (cue movie trailer voice-over).
OK, it’s not a so much a “campaign.” It’s a vacation. It’s a trip to Barcelona, Granada, Cordoba, Malaga, Seville, and Lisbon. Yesterday we packed in about 30 minutes (some of us more successfully and in calmer fashion than others), and then flew from LAX to Zurich (Swiss Air, we were not impressed), spent 3 hours in Zurich aiport appreciating all things “nordic” (including displays of both chocolates and nice-looking tall blond people), boarded a quick flight to Barcelona (crowded with a very noisy and very determined to network-with-each-other-men’s soccer team), took the AeroBus (5 euro!) from BCN to Placa Catalunya, and walked to our flat (rented through AirBnB). If that seemed like the longest run-on sentence you’ve ever suffered through then I’ve appropriately captured the essence of our travel day. We unpacked in an organized and leisurly fashion, got spruced up, and then headed out into the city to dive right into ALL THINGS SPAIN.
OK, to be honest we dropped our luggage, ate some stale trail mix we had purchased way back at LAX, and then crashed out for the night. But now it’s 5:18am. And we’re awake! And there’s a blog post. So, yay us.
Just a few of the pretty things we saw in Zurich
