Lisbon, Portugal: We’re safe and sound and not in Barcelona

August 17, 2017 Jim 1 Comment

Barcelona suffered a terrible terrorist attack today. Thanks to all our friends and family and readers who’ve left comments and sent emails asking if we’re ok.

We left Barcelona about a week ago. While we were there, we spent hours walking from one end of La Rambla, the street on which the attack occurred, to the other. It’s packed with tourists day and night and we can understand why those crowds would light up the eyes of a religious fanatic intent on inflicting as much death and destruction as possible.

We love Barcelona and we’re heartsick about today’s attack. And we send all our best wishes out to the victims and their families.

    We knew you weren’t there, but could only imagine the anxiety from being in proximity to such a disaster. Keep moving on as we all do and enjoy time with each other.
