Happy Birthday Eddie

Yesterday my big brother celebrated his 26th Birthday!!!

SPAIN

I just got back from a wonderful vacation to Spain.
We had so much fun and saw so many cool things. There is probably WAY too much to share here, so I won't even try.

We stayed in Madrid, with Rachel's Aunt and Uncle. We mostly stayed in Madrid and saw a lot of things in the city, but a couple days we ventured out to see other cities. We saw art museums, old Mosques, Synagogues, and Cathedrals, as well as the royal palace. It was such a good trip. I would love to go back and visit again! Below are some of the pics from our vacation.

A busy street in Madrid, near the Puerta del Sol.

Aunt Mollie and I outside the Cathedral in Toledo.

Rachel on a street in Toledo.

(Toledo is an ancient walled-in city. All of the streets are really small like this)

A famous statue in the Plaza Mayor.

A picture of me in the open square of an old church in Toledo, over looking the Cloisters below. Rachel would not let me pose as Evita Peron in this picture. (Although, the picture does not show me singing 'Don't Cry For Me Toledo' to the patrons below j/k)

Rachel outside the Royal Palace.

I felt right at home there...

Another street in Madrid, with some art deco buildings.

Me outside the medieval walls of Avila.

Rachel's Uncle Nicasio is talking to a random stranger in the background.

The Basilica de San Vicente. A 12th Century romanesque Church, where we attended Mass. It was really awesome to attend a real mass in a church that old, even though we couldn't understand a word of it!

A lake at the Retiro Parque in Madrid.

Rachel in Madrid with her Spanish Fan (all the rage!) My favorite picture!

Adios Amigos

Hola! So its been awhile since I have blogged...
So I am leaving for my vacation to SPAIN!!! I am very excited. I will be sure to take lots of pictures to share.
It has been so crazy here... This morning there was a huge thunderstorm. There was a tornado warning in Brooklyn. The trains were closed and there was chaos in the streets (maybe I'm being a little dramatic), but I was definately feeling chaotic! Now the weather is hot and sticky- so yucky outside!
I just finished reading Harry Potter, which I loved. I won't give anything away for those of you who have not read it, but Harry Potter has pretty much been my existence for the last week or so. Now I am ready to move on with my life...

So, Jenny's Birthday will be when we are gone, so we went out and celebrated before our trip. We ate at this great restaurant in DUMBO and below are some pics...

I must admit, I'm an awesome photographer... Look at this shot of the BK bridge.
Jenny, Me and of course, Michael Scott
Beth, Jenny, Amber and Rachel outside of Superfine

This was a really neat post-it work of art.

A closer look... it was made of post-it notes, and you could write your own to-do list.

Well, that it's for now. I will miss all of you! Take care and I'll speak to you soon.

!Adios!
