I decided to end this year right on the blog. Here are some personal art projects that I have been working on from Spain.

Hello Madrid, you are very pretty at night.

We woke up at 6am to this:

Apparently it only snows about once a year in Toledo, if that. We were really lucky to stumble upon snow on this trip. Bob and I woke up at 6 am not for any reason but the fact that we couldn’t sleep anymore. It was nice to be up before it was light out and catch some photos of the snow during the night. Snow makes everything magical. Snow also makes everything a bit harder to get around. We tried to take a cab up to this beautiful view of the town of Toledo, only to find midway up that we were unable to make it because of traffic.

Bob snapped this photo of me… I really like it.

This is the street right behind our hotel, CASONA DE LA REYNA, which for under 50 EUR a night it’s a steal!

Snowman!

This was taken in the cathedral, where I guess you aren’t supposed to take photos? whoops?

Bob and I stumbled upon this really cool antique bookstore right across from the Cathedral in Toledo. I am starting to gain a fascination with used book stores. It all started on my trip to DC 2 months ago when I bought 6 books for under $20. This store I spent 20 EUR on one book, but it was worth it. (Someone is getting a book for christmas!)

Here you go KP, this one is for you.

2 naps later, we made it to the other side. Sunset instead of sunrise this time.

Toledo is known for it’s ham. We happened upon this small ham shop in the center of town. I love how they display their ham in the open air, it gives Spain a natural, earthy feel.

We just arrived in Spain early this morning at 7 am. After an eventful flight (those are never good) where a woman passed out, and a man punched another man, we were ready to get on our way. My travel partner, Bob, and I headed on the first train out of Madrid to a small city about a half an hour south called Toledo. Today, Bob and I roamed around for Toledo for awhile taking photos, eating tapas, and drinking cerveca. I am way to tired to actually write any words, so here are some photos:

Tomorrow I leave for Spain. A friend and I will be traveling to Madrid, Toledo, and Segovia for 10 days. I am so incredibly excited about this trip. I never thought I would go back to Europe in the same year. This is my first time visiting Spain (another country will be checked off my list!). One of my main goals for this trip is to build up my travel photography portfolio. I have started my new years resolutions, already, and one of them is to get a photo published in a travel magazine. So if you see any travel photos on this blog that you like and have connections to the travel industry (cough…Lori..cough) let me know!

Clients: All orders have been shipped out and are on their way to you. All DVD’s have been mailed to you. Enjoy! I will be answering email when I get back into the office for 1 day, December 23rd.

Friends: I will be updating my blog (hopefully) while in Spain. Please do not try to text or call me, I will not be able to answer. If you would like to send love letters, send them to my email:  heather@heatherahrens.com

Check the blog often in the next 10 days! I hope to have some photos to show you!

Liz and Adam were married a few weeks ago at one of my favorite places ever (and just not because I live 2 blocks away) The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. Enjoy this quick preview. The full blog post will be online in a week or two.
