Here in Barcelona.

Ok, so both Jen and I made it to Barca. After a week stay in our small apartment we managed to come across a good one (photos soon) in only the first day of looking. So we were please. At 700Euros/month we were happy to find one in our budget .......yeah I know, this is about 1400 aussie per month! So pretty pricey around BCN.
We have been walking alot and looking around the city. It is big, busy and hot. I regards to BarcelonaFit, we are making inroads. After a hiccup a couple of days ago when we thought the BCN marathon was put back to October 2006 and nothing before, we we looking down the barrel of moving our sorry butts to Madrid. Something we didn't want to do. After getting a train ticket (the trip would last all night), we got news that there are actually 2 marathons in 2006. On in March and another in October. So we are pleased and may even work both if we are doing alright. We are struggling in understanding the Espanol (and Catalyn around these parts), but we are getting into classes this week.
Write more soon.

Ok, off to the White River we go.

Jen and I are heading 3 hours East of Fayetteville today to get to the White River. It is a long trip for such a short amount of time we are going to be there and we hope it is worth it. I am just running about 10 miles/week for a couple of weeks, then will hopefully get the urge to get back into it while in Barcelona. Photos of camping are coming....

We are waiting to head off....

Ok, so the latest is that we are trying to get everything organized before we get on the plane to head to Barcelona. The date is just about set for travel on the 21st June. Both Jen and I are pretty excited about it all and after reading alot of the details about the USAFit program we are more confident about what we are doing. We are in Fort Smith, AR, staying with Jen's parent until we leave. We're trying to stay fit and do some exercise each day, but some days slip by!!! arh well, we are trying..... The sun is out most days, so we catch up on the sun-baking skills at least. All is well and we are working hard to get to Spain with everything we need.....
