I’ve created this blog to collect experiences and thoughts from my trip to Spain. At the moment, most of the site is a placeholder for what will come along the way, so expect some improvements and changes over the next week or so.

For those of you who don’t know, I am travelling to the northwest part of Spain to attend the Compostela Architecture Institute. Since I was going to Spain anyway, I talked my husband Jon into coming along for a week before to visit Barcelona. Neither of us has ever been to Spain, so the trip will be full of new places, sites and experiences.

Our itinerary:

Thursday July 12 – Leave Washington Dulles for Barcelona (via Paris)

Friday July 13 – Arrive Barcelona and check into the apartment we’ve rented for the week

Friday July 20 – Jon heads back home to Virginia and I begin to make my way north west.

Saturday July 21 – Check into the dorms in Santiago de Compostela

Monday July 23 – Compostela Architecture Institute begins!

Friday August 10 – End of CAI

Sunday August 12 – Back home to Virginia from Barcelona

I’ll add more tomorrow or Friday, but now off to bed so I can get up early and finish packing. More soon!
