"Halloween is not very French"

These are some sketches I did while sitting at a cafe Halloween night in Paris. Although "Halloween is not very French," which we kept hearing repeated to us, we had quite a good time.







Marie Antoinette

Going to the Louvre and being in Paris has brought out Daisy's fascination with Marie Antoinette (again!)

Paris, je t'aime

Paris- could there be a more romantic city in the world to go to on your honeymoon?

Café Culture

After visiting Barcelona, we continued on to Paris.

I have to say, I love the cafe culture in France, sitting at a table for hours, being a voyeur and watching the people walk by.

Palace of Catalan Music lamp

We visited the Palace of Catalan Music in Barcelona, which also has amazing architecture. They were sold out for tours that day, so we had a nice tapas lunch in their cafe, did some sketching, and got tickets for the next day.

Pastry Envy

Our friend Romeo recommended a pastry shop and cafe for us to check out for breakfast. I got what is now referred to as the "magic donut," which looked like a pregnant croissant, covered in sugar and filled with amazing.

Daisy was a little jealous...

where's Tom?

While in Barcelona, we met up with Daisy's parents, who were traveling to a conference in Seville. We had some time to check out some of the sites, including the Sagrada Familia, which is amazing, and my drawing doesn't near do it enough justice.

We also lost Daisy's dad at some point.

Tapa Lunch

Our first day in Barcelona, we had an awesome lunch of Tapas.

I like the one with the olives and the anchovies.
