Font de la Budellera - More Adventures in Parc de Collserola

Like many of our Barcelonais counterparts we cite one of the many great things about living in this city as being sandwiched between ´montaña y mar´ -- between the mountains and the sea.  Also, like many others who live here, we've become regular patrons of Collserola (see previous posts).  We pack a pica-picnic, take a short bus and train ride, and set out on what usually turns out to be a fantastic mid-morning adventure.  We'd kept to the same path up until a couple of weeks ago--getting the kids used to their hiking legs..but we finally decided to try something different.  We sure are glad we did.  What a wonder we discovered!
Daddy and Aoife starting to explore the area.
The amazing wisteria that vines all over, thanks to the Font (natural fountain).  The color and fragrance were both incredibly vibrant and wonderful.
The mountains behind.
Font de la Buddellera -- tapped.  How'd that cute kid get in there ; )?
Posed adorableness ...
... and silliness.

And just because I love these photos for some reason:
Here are my beauties in the morning before we headed out.
And this one tells a great story ... it's one of those that really has a thousand words.  I hope you can think of at least a few.

Visit again soon!

We love you.
