[Magdalen] Travel Plans

[Ann Markle]

Definitely spend a little time in Barcelona, see Sagrada Familia (Gaudi's
cathedral) and the black madonna of Montserrat (near Barcelona). And
definitely go to Paris! I promised myself I would not like Paris (because
everyone else does) — but I LOVE 💗 Paris! I want to see more of Spain, and
definitely Portugal. Wish I were going with you! Have a wonderful time.
