Travel
- This week: Barcelona. Heads up: I’m committed to moving here ASAP. Kin and I had the best meal Friday night at Pla: I ate cod confit and a desert that involved both wasabi and chocolate. One of the other highlights: seeing Barça defeat Getafe. We had great seats and saw Messi, Neymar, Suárez, and Xavi score.
- Upcoming week: Barcelona. Hermosa Beach, CA. Davidson, NC.
- Upcoming: I booked travel back to Barcelona in June and to Philadelphia, also in June, for ISTE.
