January Guestbook

 In January, we hosted my old friend from college, Mubeen, and his wife, Asma, and our friend from Wisconsin, Thomas.

Mubeen and Asma

At the Three Kings Parade

Mubeen and Asma had Barcelona on their last stop of their tour of Spain. Their trip overlapped with Three Kings Day and we still ventured out to the Three Kings Parade to watch the spectacle. It was definitely not like anything we had seen before! The rest of their visit was spent eating great food, visiting the famous Barcelona sites, exploring Gracia, and playing games. A highlight was definitely me and Asma beating Kevin and Mubeen at Spades! I'm sure there will be a rematch back in Oklahoma City.

Thomas

Our friend, Thomas, was stopping by after hiking in Portugal and on his way to a work trip in Germany. His visit was very quick and very chill! Thomas has celiac disease and we got to try a variety of dedicated gluten-free restaurants/bakeries during his visit and was pleasantly surprised by the options (plenty!). We are used to playing volleyball with Thomas and couldn't make it happen this trip, but he says he'll be back. We still had a ton of fun wandering the city.
