First things first. Today is River’s fourth birthday. It’s crazy to think how isolated she was for her first year or so of life because of Covid. We are definitely making up for that now.
She has been really great on this trip. She just follows around and does whatever we are doing. And when we see a park, we try to let her run around a bit. I’m so glad she is here. I can’t imagine the trip without her.
Today was perhaps the easiest travel day we have ever had. We woke up really early and tried to be as quiet as possible packing up and getting out of the church. From there it was a short walk to hop on a bus to the airport. The airport was a breeze, and we had lots of time to sit on the floor and eat some breakfast.
It’s just a couple of hours on the plane from Rome to Barcelona, and then a bus ride from the airport to Sant Boi, where Elsa and Chris live.
We are sad they aren’t here to hang out with, but we are so grateful they have let us stay in their home for a few days.
Betty is particularly exhausted. She spent most of the afternoon just sleeping. She needed it.
We will try to get into the city, but I really don’t want to wear people out here. We hope to start hiking by the weekend, so we want to take a couple of days to recharge our batteries.
