We got back to Barcelona today (total travel time from Portland, Oregon to Barcelona, Spain is about 26 hours; yuck).
First of all, thank you to all of you for your sympathy and support in regards to the death of Grandma Anderson. We sincerely appreciate your encouragement and love, and we passed your messages onto Gemma’s family.
In addition to hearing from many family and friends, we also received a number of messages from complete strangers. The internet being what it is, it’s not unusual to get a message from someone you don’t know; however, the quantity of messages we were receiving was abnormally high.
It turns out barkhuff.com was recently featured on a number of other websites (the internet equivalent of getting press coverage), and our site traffic jumped 6,000% in one day! The site traffic has come down from that initial spike, but the change is still significant. Our site has gone from an average of 30 visitors per day to 600 visitors per day. weird.
I’m just afraid that the world isn’t ready for the world’s best moonwalk.
All of those new visitors (maybe that means you) had a bunch of the same questions, so we’ve created a more extensive about us page.
Finally, we’ve added all of the photo galleries from our trip back to the US (see the US photo galleries).

Glad to see you’re back in Barcelona. Now, go north (or south) and experience MORE of Spain!!!

Toni G: We’re happy to be back in BCN too, but you’re right, we really need to see more of Spain. We do have a short list of other Spanish cities (some that you’ve recommended) that we’ll be visiting soon, I promise!
Hi guys,
We are hoping to head to Lostine to camp today…we are waiting on the shipping company…our bags are packed…we’re ready to go…although your Dad is feverishly painting the back bathroom…we have painted all the bedrooms, the living/dining room and grandma’s bathroom…the bathroom in the utility was fine…until I, in all my infinite wisdom, peeled a small peel of paint…which led to another and another…someone must have painted latex over oil cause it came off in sheets…and unfortunately made another job for Dad.
Anyhow, things are coming together here. All the stuff you brought will fit fine in the shipment to Hawaii.
Hoping you are enjoying Barcelona.
We will be out of email/phone contact for the next week. We will check in when we get back.
Love,
Anne
just reading about your adventures is crazy :) i can’t imagine actually experiencing them!
