Plus, she and her husband Craig saved the day for us. They were in Barcelona to watch their talented daughter graduate from college (with honors mind you), and she arranged to spend a bit of time meeting up with me on our first day here. By the time we got together, my family and I were four lost sheep, feeling completely frazzled because we could not locate the apartment we were renting in Barca and had been standing watching the pouring rain, thunderstorms and hail for several hours. Well, Craig got on the phone and sorted everything out, while Allison and I and the kids relaxed and chatted. It was exactly what we needed! Maybe blog friends are actually angels . . . it sure felt like that today! Thanks Allison and Craig for coming to the rescue. And for taking the time to get together for a drink. Next time, we'd love to host you in the Bay Area!

I'm exhausted from the traveling, but I will be 'round to read the Stories from Storytelling Sunday soon. And I'll pick a winner of the stamps from the Organisation Blog Hop and post that tomorrow.
Sounds like you are having great fun and YEAH Craig for saving the day!
ReplyDeleteI so hope to meet up with some of my distant blog friends one day. It certainly is amazing that you got together with Allison and Barcelona is one of my favourite places. I am hoping to revisit and take my husband one day. So pleased Allison & Craig sorted out your apartment difficulties, hope you have a wonderful stay.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the Bay Area refers to San Francisco, if so, that is another of my top favourite places and I definitely want to revisit one day if I can!
Love the photo....and so pleased that not only did you manage to meet up...but they saved the day as well. Hurray for blog friends!!
ReplyDeleteLovely that you met up with Alison and they were able to help with your rental. Have a wonderful time in Barcelona. It's a great City.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the sun is shining today! I don't know about angels, but we were certainly glad to have helped...and I have no doubt we will meet up again! Have fun!
