More details to come (fingers crossed), but she:  loved the chocolate con churros (they quickly learned that they could take the extra chocolate in a paper bowl and go to the grocery store to buy lots of out of season, but delicious strawberries, for 5 Euro and dip in the bowl), thought the light was amazing inside the Sagrada Familia, loved the view from Arenas De Barcelona, thought the soccer match was exciting (Barcelona currently has the three best stryker's in the world--we haven't told Parker she went), isn't as fluent as she "thought" she was, thought the veal was awesome, and enjoyed the weather (cool and cold with sun, but not freezing).

Here's her pictures:
