Where does one go when you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and breathe some fresh air? A house in the country sounds good, especially if you can find 8 other people to join in the adventure. A weekend away. After some searching we found the perfect place, beautiful and remote…El Roquer. A traditional Catalan rural casa built in the 16th century and nestled in the mountains around La Garrotxa. You might remember La Garrotxa from my previous post…Yo vs. El Volcán

We ate like kings! Isabel made two wonderful paellas. The boys barbequed. We feasted.

We celebrated three birthdays…Joel, Adam, and Isabel. Rebecca baked some fantastic desserts.

We partied til the wee hours of the morning.

We drank ourselves silly. Does that bottle really have Joel’s name on it?

And then we rested.

El Roquer had everything one needed in a weekend getaway. We should go back….

I must apologize for the tardiness on this posting as this took place back in February. Bad blogger.
