  9. What a great idea for a blog post today, it's lovely to see your family photos. I went to Barcelona a few years ago and I love Gaudi's architecture, to the extent that I'm having 'Gaudi week' on my blog soon! Out of the things to accomplish I've got to do numbers 6, 7 and 8 too. Well done for what you have accomplished!
