Greetings from Spain! Shannon arrived right on time this morning and we spent the day walking ourselves silly all over Barcelona. It was a gorgeous sunny day, much nicer than the last time I was in Barcelona. We visited many of Gaudi’s finest works around the city - Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló - then took a stroll down Las Ramblas for some shopping and sangria (very small glasses, of course!). We’ve got another full day in Barcelona tomorrow before heading out to sea on the MSC Splendida tomorrow evening. Til tomorrow…

I'm Jenny McIver, career girl, globetrotter. On New Year's Day, 2005, a newspaper article about a man who took a trip around the world sparked a wanderlust in me that has yet to abate. I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
Are those glasses actually ‘pitchers’ of sangria!?! Yum!!
Umm, possibly!!
