If you open the Sunday edition of our local paper The Strait Times, you shall see a write up on Spain with a picture on a location exactly the same as my entry last week. What a coincidence.
Ever since I have started writing this Sunday series on our trip to Spain, there are two questions often asked. (1) Why takes so long to process the photos? (2) How come you are not inside the album?
To be honest, selecting the photos and processing them is easy. They are more or less as they are except the few artistic spins to make them unique. It is looking through my handwritten notes and the materials we have collected in order to (a) write a journal of the day, (b) put in a proper caption for each photo (and try to make the story gels), and (c) write a blog entry – that takes time. I also try not to repeat the contents for these different channels because there may be readers who read (a), (b), and (c). But I enjoy doing that. As in why I am not inside the album. Well, Cynthia has been taking my pictures as we toured. And I may share them towards the end of this series. Also, towards the end of the trip, I suddenly remember I have brought along a tripod. So you will see more of ‘our’ photos later.
As usual, below are the options you may wish to read more about our day 3 journey – a visit to a monastery in Montserrat and more.
- A photo collection for day 3 of our trip to Spain (35 photos with captions)
- A journal written in details on what we did and more (approx 1,000 words)
- A highlight of the photos below (8 photos – and for Facebook readers, please view the original post)
Enjoy!

I wait patiently every week to see your photos of Spain and slap myself each week for staying in office and missing the fun out there. Thanks for sharing!
Darkspore – Wow, thanks so much for your support. I think ideally I shall publish the entry on a Sunday afternoon. I will try to get that out earlier this coming weekend.
Oh I hadnt say I like your new web design! Im bad at such stuff thats why mine’s a plain white haha. Wondering if the photo right at the top meant something to you to be used ?
Si Ying – Ah, thanks! I am also very bad in this stuff. Just that the WordPress blogging engine has advanced and my old template was lagging behind. So I took a leap of faith. Still trying to fine tune things. Especially the default banners that I will change once I get the time 🙂

Limleen – Spain is beautiful. Have you been there?
[…] I would prefer to take a train from one city to another, and then take an excursion trip like what we did in Montserrat. But Cynthia wanted to experience what a road trip would be like in Spain. And so, we rented a […]
