Second day in BCN
Today was a look at buildings day. Type in "Barcelona" online if you want to see what we saw! The highlights were the Sagrada Familia and the Calatrava tower. My favorite part was when we hiked up a hill to get a view of the city. It wasn't the view but rather the hike. Remember whoever who said that the point is the journey not the destination. In this case, it was true.

Toying around
I have recently downloaded several "toy camera" apps. You know the kind of effects that hipsters love. I think they're big in Japan too because some of the apps I downloaded are Japanese. Anyhow, the double exposure is classic toy 2, the lights is king cam and the tree is instagram, I think. Pixelromatic is another good one. I like the option of adding a light burn, something the built in editor on instagram doesn't have. All the apps mentioned are free, although if you want to unlock bigger photo size on king cam it's 99 cents and it's 99 cents for a "lens pack" for classic toy 2.

Shoes, shoes, shoes.
I have been attempting to make a pair of shoes. I might be in over my head a little though as last night after hours of stitching, I was still nowhere close to being completed one left shoe. Needless to say, I am going to take a break from it today.

Right side of Beauty
Just got back from the east side of Canada. Although the weather tried to tell us it was November, we refused to listen. Bakers Creek Falls swim, East Coast Trail hike and Bay of Fundy mud flats are shown in the photos. We also checked out Cape Breton Island, which I must go back to in the spring, summer or fall as it is so incredibly beautiful!

Yes b'y?
Here we be, on Canada's east coast. It has been an eventful week of exploring and hiking, interspersed with tea drinking sessions and too much food! Ah buddy, I tells ya, if it weren't for the eight hour hike on the beautiful east coast trail, I'd be one and a half ax-handles wide, yes m'boy! Speaking of the east coast trail; the trail stretches from Topsail around past St. Johns and down to Cappahayden. It looks like I might have to add it to my list of to-dos! The portion we traversed was gorgeous! Tall cliffs dropping hundreds of feet into the blue Atlantic, a lighthouse, an abandoned settlement on a picturesque cove with a waterfall cascading into a crystal clear bay! Sea stacks and a natural bridge were seen from the trail as well. We ran out of time but we were trying to reach a feature called "the Spout" which is a geyser caused by the force of the waves, sending water shooting into the air. It was windy at times but all around it was a pleasant hike with few muddy patches along the path where creeks and springs cut through on their way to the ocean. If ever in the St. Johns area, I highly recommend this trail!
