We'll be spending a nice, quiet weekend at home this week to "recover" from our vacation.

Lessons Learned:

1. Barcelona is ranked as the number one worst location of pickpocketing by TripAdvisor.com.

2. The Spanish are not early risers.

3.  The Spanish diet is heavily reliant on potatoes, eggs, ham, and fish.
