Guest post on the Nichols Family blog...

Joe is absolutely right, this is turning into the Nichols family blog. But as I thought about it I could not help but think that those Nichols' just do so much cool stuff. How can I compete with London, Cantebury, Dover, uber-cute kids dancing and holding easter baskets...

The answer is I can't, but I am able to put up some pretty awesome pictures from a little vacation I was lucky enough to be a part of last summer (thanks again Phil). The Spain trip was too much to write about in one blog post (then this blog would look like mine), but I thought I'd just put up some of the funnier shots for all to enjoy... Above is our sweet Ghost Busters impression... oh wait no, this is us preparing for the great tomato fight of Bunol.




Look, we ran with the Bulls....



We made tia Tere smile in a picture...




Phil and Andrew got in a very manly slap fight...



We ate tapas and drank wine until it was dark...



We went to a church, we're Sauvageaus...

We went for a hike, we're Sauvageaus...






We tasted wine in Priorat!!!! With Josep, the owner of Vinedos de Ithica, delicious!!


We ate on a boat!!



We caught up with the family...


We did some other stuff too, I'm sure you heard about it by now. Either way, I wanted to put up something about this wonderful adventure even if it's a little late. I could not have asked for better traveling partners and the whole experience was incredible. Thanks Luis, Luisito, Andrew, Tias Carmen and Tere, Josep, Jose, and especially Phil!!!

Let's do it again.

In case you're interested, I started grad school in January and am set to finish some time in 2011 with a master's in Education. Maybe then I'll be able to get a job...

I also moved back home with the parents ("roomates" for the general public). It's been fun, but we are all on completely different schedules and they have been very accommodating to me. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Can't wait for the summer, I have a trip to Yosemite planned for late July. I've heard it's breath taking there, can't wait to see it.

I'd love to see some of you this summer, don't know if I'll be able to travel much, but my roomates' casa es su casa!!

Miss and love you all,

-Colyn
