After completing some business in Barcelona, Spain in November 2008 Red joined 
me for some vacation time. We spent the weekend in Barcelona seeing he sites and then moved on to northern Italy where we rented a car and drove from Milan to Venice, Firenze and back to Milan. An interesting time in the low season, some good food, nice ancient villages and great prices on fine leather. While not our favorite destination it was nice to explore. The old churches and their stained glass was fascinating.
