Paris Anniversary Weekend


In celebration of our nuptials, we spent the weekend in "The City of Light." And it did not disappoint, as it was just as romantic as I imagined. Au revoir Paris, thanks for the memories.

Fiestas de la Virgen Blanca in Vitoria


The annual celebration of the Virgen Blanca kicked off on August 4 in the town plaza with roughly 40,000 people. The tradition is that at 6PM the Celedon (toy man) comes down from the church tower into one of the local's balcony. As he makes his way down, the crowd erupts in cheer and an enormous champagne shower ensues. Good times.

Where in the world are Will & Vanessa?



Although it's still somewhat tentative, I wanted to share our aggressive travel itinerary for the next year. This way you have plenty of notice and no excuse to not visit us in Europe. If you don't want to come see us here in the lil' ol' town of Vitoria, then you can pick any of the other destinations on the newly added Travel Tracker and meet us there. See you soon!

Campeones de la Copa Mundial




We had a crazy weekend capped off with a thrilling win for Espana. We went down to the town plaza to watch the match outdoors with all the locals. It was such an exciting atmosphere and we certainly felt lucky to be here to experience the win.
