Tati's Trip to Spain

 
Chuchi and I in Segovia (Chuchi picked me up after my homestay and took me to the fiddle camp)
Dinner at Casares- a typical Andalucian white village



Dressing up for the fair- everyone dresses up in traditional Flamenco costume!


In Marbella which was 20 mins from Estepona where I was living. (Grandma and Poppy you had sent me your notes from your trip to Spain and you were in to Marbella too!)

Trip to Seattle & Vancouver

Natan and I were in Seattle (for a friend's wedding) and in Vancouver (for an extra vacation) a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect (a nice break from the hot/humid Chicago weather) and we had a great trip. We loved both cities!

The wedding was outside of the Seattle Aquarium.


The aquarium is famous for having an enormous octopus.


During the reception, we wandered all over the aquarium (which was extra cool because the aquarium was closed to the public for the wedding).

My college roommate, Ashley, lives in Seattle now. She took us all over the city.
This photo is from Gas Works park.

The flowers at Pike's Place Market were beautiful!

Stanley Park in Vancouver

It was pretty cloudy, so we never got a great view of the mountains.


Fresh fruit at the Granville Island Market!

Natan's birthday was last weekend.
We had some friends over for a cookout and I made him a strawberry shortcake.

Alex in Chicago!

Alex performed in Chicago a few weeks ago. The show was great!! It was so nice to catch up with him after the show and to meet Sarah. The photos are a little blurry, but I thought I'd post them anyway.
