Ready for Winter

Thanks to our good friend Al, and his late husband Dan, we are prepared for winter this year with these awesome hats.

Headed home

Here we are at the Barcelona airport starting our journey home. 2 hrs to Frankfurt, 9.5 hrs to Anchorage. And amazingly we get to Anchorage 1/2 hour before we leave Frankfurt. (on the clock anyway).

Streets of Barcelona

Really... Roger is happier than he looks to be in Barcelona.

Exploring Montserrat

Photo ops around the grounds at Montserrat.

Adios a Vilarnau

After picking up a bottle of this vineyard's wine for our own private tasting on our deck back in Sitges with some cheese and grapes, we are on our way to Montserrat

Wine tasting at Vilarnau

With the second harvest about to take place in a few weeks, there were still a few grapes on the vines for us to pick and taste.

Nice day at the beach!

Nice day at the beach today... Us white Alaskans mostly hide out in the shade, but a few dips in the Mediterranean gave a refreshing reprieve to the heat from the Sitges sun.

Streets of Sitges

Taking a look in some shops before heading off to dinner.

Sunny day in the neighborhood

With the great success of our new flower garden this year, we are curious to see how well all of our perennials come back next Spring. Check back with us in June to find out.

Weekend...

Riley's excited for the weekend!!

Happy Birthday Chason!
