Howdy patrons and thanks for supporting the channel.  Today’s update is a hard one because this has been one hell of a week.  Ever since we arrived in Barcelona.  But to go forward we need to go back.

The first part of the around the world trip was Central America and Mexico.  For me (initially) it was just a bumper.  A hiccup on the way to Spain and Barcelona.  It was for Nikki.  But it turned out to be a great experience for me … and also a chance to recover from my burnout.  And I didn’t do those months justice.

Enter Barcelona.  It was going to be my crown jewel.  I knew it like the back of my hand.  It hasn’t been all that.

(Editing videos in the bathroom because of our crappy AirBnb)

I released a video on Thursday which explains that photo.  DON’T COME to BARCELONA! (We Had To Leave).  Basically the only place we can afford here due to the Mayor’s War On Airbnb comes with 24×7 trucks, motorcycles, busses, and other assorted assaults on our eardrums.  In order to even hear what I’m editing (and I use noise cancelling headphones!) I have to hide in the baño.

So my emotions have been on a roller coaster ride since we arrived.  And I have been experiencing sleep deprivation because of said noise.  Basically, even though we love this city our sleep/mental health needs to be elsewhere.

Our solution is going to be an interesting one, I promise ya!  (Assuming everything we are seeing online is correct).  So this is going to be a short week’s update while we try to nap and decide if a pop-up camper-top-thing is the way to go.  Hmmm, did I let a cat out of a bag?  🙂

Thanks again for your support and much more next week!
