back home from jersey, nice time at sarah's birthday. here is a pic my brother sent of elisabet - so big already - with her new sister carolina!

first day back at work, got home a bit ago. i got an attempted video conferencing call from jesus, he just got an iphone4 and was testing out face talk, we will have to try it again, see how it works.

i was counting all the michelin stars we collected in our trip to spain: 7 in total, as follows:

- El Bulli ***
- Arola **
- Inoteca *
- Cinc Sentits *

Pretty nice

Here is the best shot, Nicole with Ferran Adria in the kitchen of El Bulli.

we are back home! awesome trip to spain visiting el bulli, la costa brava, and barcelona, and seeing my parents, my brother and alicia, and meeting carolina

Now packing up, getting ready to head to Spain for a mini vacation and a visit to El Bulli, should be fun! The restaurant has been described as "the most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet" and does a great deal of work on molecular gastronomy. Restaurant Magazine has judged El Bulli as Number One on Restaurant (magazine) Top 50 list of the world's best restaurants a record five times — in 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We catch a plane shortly.

BTW, I was thinking, I am approaching 500 pages in my blog, and that means 2,500 blog entries, that's not too bad. It's been running for close to 6 years now. Although that's only half as long as the site's been running, which is close to 12 years (!)
