Adventures

Below is an on-going list of adventures.  Whether they are accomplished this trip, the next one, or 20 years from now, it’s all a matter of time and I’ll just keep adding to the list.  If you happen to have any suggestions of places and things to see in Barcelona, Europe, or anywhere in the world, let me know!
