CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR IN BARCELONA
Today was Christmas day and it was my first time away with my family in another country for this special holiday. It was a beautiful sunny day and we spent the day the Catalonian way, which is very relaxing and low key. We had our little Christmas tree with many presents under it and SANTA came and visited with a present each for Zoe and Nic, after an early morning wake up from two very excited kids we had fun opening presents in our pjs and lounging around till lunch where we then had a home cooked meal of "bouti and patates". Luckily our favorite cafe was open and we enjoyed our coffee after our big meal. Very few Catalanians were out and the streets were lovely and quiet.
New years eve in Barcelona was very low key but fun. We walked down to Placa Catalunya and La Rambla where there were thousands of people. Everyone did the big countdown and cheered and celebrated. Unfortunately they don't do the fire works during new years eve only on in July.
We then went on our balcony and enjoyed the atmosphere from up there.
New years day we had another home cooked meal, popped a bottle of Spanish CAVA and relaxed.
So now I'm writing to you from Athens as on the 5th of January we left beautiful beautiful Barcelona. My family had one of the most amazing experiences and it was unforgettable. Nicholas went through 5 weeks of tennis training, 5 weeks of football at a local academy and then the absolute high light of two weeks at the FCB Barcelona Escola.
We celebrated mine and Zoe's birthdays as well as Xmas and New Year.
How can we top that?
Adios BARCELONA,
hope to visit you again soon.
I will probably post one more time from Athens our last leg of the trip.

A very special Christmas that i will never forget.
The day after boxing day Nic went to his first session at the FCB Barcelona Escola training camp. He was so excited (actually i think Arthur and i were even more excited than him. LOL). the program is from 8.30 till 5.30 with 2 separate training sessions. in between they are taken to various activities such as visiting Camp Nou and the museum, ice skating and various other group games. He absolutely loved his first day and he couldn't believe he got to train where his favorite players such as Xavi, Thiago and Messi train every week. What a fantastic experience for him.
