Calella and Paella

Keeping with tradition Chiara, Ruth, and I had pastries and coffee for breakfast.


We strolled around Arenys de Mar and found the church whose bells we hear every 15 minutes. The beauty inside Santa Maria d’Arenys de Mar is amazing.

There is beautiful detail around every corner here.

We found a store open (difficult on Sunday) and Ruth insisted on paying for her peach and banana by herself.


We took the train to Calella to enjoy the beach for the day. The weather was perfect and Ruth even got a quick nap in.

Justin took Ruth out in the sea to try and find some fish, but no luck. Look for the pink inter tube out by the yellow buoys.

The inter tube was definitely a good purchase!

We enjoyed sandwiches on the beach for lunch before heading back for a quick nap before dinner. 
We weren’t sure which restaurant would be open so we walked around town to check it out.


We are often asked why we take our child with us on trips she won’t remember and my response is she may not remember the trip, but we will remember the memories.  She will also learn about herself as she is pushed to do new things. It isn't always easy to travel witha  child, but we are very lucky she is happy and agreeable more than she is not.  Watching her run out into the square we had dinner on and make a new friend who did not speak the same language is heart warming.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1SDLVhakfDsNfWbOs7UQJPWezQfBEGHOh
Her new avocado ring from Zia fit perfectly with her guacamole dinner.

We had our first paella and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to more!
