]]> seville_photofriday_cameraandcarryon This was an absolutely gorgeous day in Seville, Spain. Along the Guadalquivir River, a wide, pedestrian walkway provides a quick respite from the city-center bustle, with ample space to kick back and relax, or stroll hand in hand with your sweetie. On this particular day, there were thousands of people biking, pushing strollers, setting up enviable picnics (wine, cheese, sausage, yum!), and taking afternoon siestas in the sunshine. A nice breeze blew through the tall grass and wispy clouds streaked across the blue sky. In a word, perfection!

In celebration of Valentine's Day, we decidedly mixed things up this year. There weren’t any fancy clothes, a dozen roses, or a three-course, gourmet meal.

]]> In celebration of Valentine's Day, we decidedly mixed things up this year. There weren’t any fancy clothes, a dozen roses, or a three-course, gourmet meal. Donning our finest long johns, we left the candy hearts and chocolates (well, maybe not chocolates) to the masses, and made our way to mountains, hoping to score a glimpse of the world famous Matterhorn. From top to bottom, our offbeat love day was one of the best ever, and here’s why… We rented the most picturesque, petit chalet/love nest. 1-chalet Took a train to Zermatt and found the car-free town to be even cuter than we imagined; with horse drawn sleighs, powdery snow, and quaint ski shops. 2-train Played in the snow. 3-snow Saw the Matterhorn in all its mountainous glory. 4-matterhorn Ordered hot chocolate (with rum). Tried taking a photo of it. Failed at the photo (indoor/outdoor temp difference = foggy lens). Shrugged and enjoyed our delicious adult beverages. 5-hotcho Stumbled upon the greatest nutty bread ever, and the amazing goodness of matterhorn-shaped nougat chocolates. 6-breadchoco Rode the chairlift and found jaw-dropping views at each level. 7-chairlift Made it to the Matterhorn observation deck and nearly froze our faces off in the subzero temperatures. A small price to pay for being above the clouds. Breathtaking! 8-top Did we mention it was crazy-windy?! Thawed out and filled our bellies with some traditional, hearty Swiss fare... 9-food ...and (bonus!) a little oom-pa-pa for the cherry on top.
