Written by Ms. Mae on August 29th, 2017. 2 Comments

In light of the tragedy in Barcelona last week, I thought I’d write about that wonderful city. As you read this, consider lifting a prayer for the people who were injured and the families of those who lost loved ones. My daughter and I spent three days in Barcelona earlier this year.
