Holy Toledo

Hey everyone!  Now that the craziness of the holidays are over, we want to share with you our day trip to Toledo. At the beginning of December, we had a long weekend where we traveled to Madrid. From there, we decided to take two day trips, one to Segovia and the second to Toledo! Lucky […]

A Day in Segovia

Hey everyone! Last week we had two days off from work and decided to spend our long weekend exploring some cities near Madrid.

In Amsterdam, we first started learning about beer […]
