Graduation& Adios Barcelona

We can hardly believe that the time has come to leave Barcelona. Mark has finished his MBA and now a new adventure awaits us in Texas (the culture might be just as new to us as Spain was).
Graduation was so much fun and the last few days of our time in Barcelona we spent taking in as much of the sights and the beauty as we could. We woke up early on the Sunday we left to go to Montjuic one last time. It was so peaceful and quite at 8am on a Sunday morning.
Here are some of our pictures of Graduation.

This was the graduation brunch at ESADE campus the day of graduation. It was so beautiful outside...thank goodness, it had been raining for a week and a half.
Mark was the poster boy for ESADE and so here is a shot of him and his friends enjoying the larger than life photo of Mark...It is hard to tell but Mark is actually wearing the exact same outfit, good thing he had a sweater that day.


Since Mark will be working long hours, maybe we can get one of these posters for our home so the kids will know him when they see him.


Our good friends and some of their family at the graduation brunch


Mark giving his speech for graduation. He was asked to speak on behalf of the english section of the MBA program...he did an amazing job.


Mark receiving his degree. YIPEE!!! We are so proud of you.
