York, Dad and me in Espana!
This photo was take of my dad and me in front of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. York, dad and I were in Spain in October and November of 2004 visiting our friend Amanda.
Who knew we’d ever get dad to leave the country, let alone the continent? After spending 9 cramped hours on a flight from LA to London, we arrived in Barcelona in the evening and woke to a beautiful sunrise in Sitges, the town were we stayed with Amanda is about 20 minutes from Barcelona by train. Images from this trip are here.
We had the best time exploring new areas of Barcelona that we did not get to see on our first trip in 2000. It was exciting, and lots of fun to hang with him in the cafes and bars of Las Ramblas and Sitges.
Lots has happened since that 2004 trip. See what happened here.

NEW ENTRY (06.05.07)
So it’s been a year since my father died. I realized it last night as we were having dinner in Cape Town. He would have loved this country: the history; the people; the culture; everything about it says “welcome”. Have I missed him? Absolutely. I hope he’s as proud of me as I am of him.
