It was fun doing this last year, so I thought I’d continue…
January
We watched the arrival of the Three Kings in Barcelona, walked along the beach in Barcelona, went to the calçots festival in Valls and happened upon the wonderful monastery of Poblet along the way, and discovered the little town of Arenys de Mar – more pics here.
February
In February I met Moussa ag Assarid, enjoyed the Festes de Santa Eulália, a festival dedicated to children, and had lunch on top of a mountain near Vic.
March
In March Alan and I went to Girona for a bit of a research trip, where we also had some amazing food and I became tempted to find a project that would allow me to spend a year in that amazing city
April
Last month in Barcelona – we visited friends in Mataró and otherwise simply hanged out in Barcelona
May
Back in Canada after 13 months in Spain! We stayed with our friends Pearl and Al for the first two weeks and then left for Brazil to visit my family. While we were at Pearl’s, she took us to Todmorden Mills and Bufflers Park.
June
We moved into our new apartment and enjoyed summer in TO; I invented some cool salads and we had a blast at the Pride Parade.
July
We celebrated Canada Day at the harbourfront and visited Montreal, where we had to spend a few hours at the market. We also went on the first of many photo shoots with Mel and discovered Ireland Park.
August
A great month in Canada. We cycled quite a bit, watched the opening of the CNE, and I got into black & white photography.
September
September was back-to-school month. Super busy, no time to go out and take pictures. But it was also the month I got my piercing and Alan got his tattoo.
October
Halloween month! So of course we checked out the action at Church street and I got some good pictures
November
Remembrance day and another trip to Montreal
December
It seems all I did between November and December was mark papers and exams. But there was also a snowstorm in TO and our trip to Barcelona and Paris!
And 2008 arrived like this:
