When I visit a new place, I don't just focus on the well-known or even the off-the-beaten track kind of locales and sights; I like to capture the every day lives of the people there. Here are some glimpses of Barcelona, the way the locales live.
Doesn't make sense? Or oddly enough, it totally does? Whatever be the case this is the story behind it. My sister from her own parents and I met in college 21 years ago and since then had made countless plans to go travelling together. Over the years, decades really, we have visited each other many...

The month of August is usually quite festive in this household. Both Red and TO have birthdays. Incidentally both had milestone birthdays this year- their 40th and 10th.

My husband isn't a person who does a lot of things by himself for others. He doesn't give "of" himself consistently unless it's for his son. For TO this man does everything I expect and then some.
