Slow & Steady ♡

 We've been laying low while Mandy recuperates from her surgery. Every day she gains strength and a little more mobility. We've been warned that there will be set backs and progress.. over the next year or two. Already she has enjoyed less pressure at the base of her neck, much more feeling and flexibility in her feet and legs as well as experiencing more stability while standing. I'm so grateful that Grant & Ash are here because we can take turns going out in pairs for groceries as well as essential trips to the laundrymat & pharmacy.. while the 4th person is able to stay at the hotel with Mandy. Today though she was able to join us in about a 10 block stroll along the quaint quarter in which our hotel is located. It's not a tourist area.. which makes for such a lovely and authentic Spanish experience. In the 10 days we've been here we haven't met one American! 

Gorgeous Barcelona sunrise

Our home away from home ♡

Grant & I set out to find a laundrymat!

Finally found it, thanks to Google maps! :-)

This Cafe had the best Cafe con Leche! 

Next stop, flowers for Mandy

We left the flower arranging to Ash

So pretty!

The next day Mandy & Ash joined us for a walk around the neighborhood! We scouted out a fun stationary store and pet store we hope to visit on Monday!
