We took a canal tour & saw the oldest bridge in Amsterdam.
We walked through the Red Light District.
Jan & Don took us to our favorite Italian spot, Il Mare!

BARCELONA, SPAIN!!!
Prompted by a psych conference, Mark & I flew to Spain for 5 days.
Other than the 1st couple of photos, the weather was beautiful.
Mark's psych talk went well & we made good use of our time sight seeing & hanging around the beach.


Traditional Dance in the Street
Sagrada Familia
Designed by Gaudi, the cathedral began construction in the late 19th century. Obviously, it is still under construction & will most likely be throughout our lifetime.
At the time of Gaudi's death in 1926 (he was hit by a tram), only one of the 2 towers had been completed.
It was in the 1930s that anarchists managed to set fire to Gaudi's plans...
We were told that the plans for much of the roof have been lost.

Gaudi's Dragon: Park Güell

Sitting next to the dragon...looks like everyone else had this idea, too!

Having tapas with the psychology group.



We had a lot of fun at WCBCT
(World Congress of Behavioral & Cognitive Therapy).
This is a great group of world renowned psychologists enjoying the Spanish atmosphere!

Standing at the Font Magica de Montjuic
...not a bad view from here!
The fountain (still using its art deco waterworks)
creates a beautiful display of water, light, and music.
