Marseilles/Paris photos

Marseilles and Paris photos are now up. Not too many photos of either place. Marseilles was very idyllic part of the holiday, since we didn't do much. We just spent the days lazing around, and it was very relaxing. Paris was much nicer by night because it was cloudy during the day while we were there, and out night pictures didn't turn out all too well. The better ones have been included.

They're all available here.

Also have upgraded to the new Google blogger. Don't think there should be too many changes if at all, and I don't plan any major changes during the semester, but I might be playing around with this in summer, if I feel inspired.

Barcelona/Girona photos are up

Photos of Barcelona and Girona are up. Marseilles and Paris photos still to come.

Places of interest in Barcelona apart from the main street, Las Ramblas, were Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Casa Batllo looked really pretty from the outside, but 16 euros was too steep for either of us, so we decided not to go inside. All 3 places are work of Gaudi. Wikipedia links provided for the curious. There are some pictures on the Wikipedia pages too.

Girona was a lot quieter and less pretty/interesting. Supposedly the place from which Kaballah started its spread in the western world. Or at least that's what one of the locals told us.

To see the photos, click on the "Flickr photos" link below my zeitgeist and look for the set titled "travels".
