Currently in Barcelona for a 25 year anniversary with my wife. Arrived yesterday for a long weekend. Loving it so far!
My wife is a huge fan of the Broken Sword series of games, and this morning we followed in George Stobbart’s footsteps: we visited the Montserrat monastery, by cable car, and saw the Black Madonna. (And chatted to American tourists.)
We’re planning to take the cable car over Barcelona tomorrow.
It was a fun & spontaneous trip! We have joked in the past about going to Paris and visit some of the places from the game there, but when we arrived here it was not something we had planned. We basically stumbled upon Montserrat being so close, and found the opportunity too good to miss.
Now we’re talking about going to Stirling in Scotland, which is just a couple hours drive away from where we live.

As another Broken Sword fan, I’m super jealous, and what an awesome trip idea!

I hope you’re spared any crazy clowns.

Hah! There were clowns and mimes outside our hotel this morning. But they were inoffensive—to me. My wife gave them a wide berth.
