Well, I'm finally back from all the international travels. My last trip was to Barcelona, Spain, where I spoke for Microsoft for a few days. Barcelona is amazing, and unlike other parts of Spain. I worked quite a bit, turning in about 9 hours of sleep for the week. But I was able to get out just a little, and I got to see the incredible architecture they have.

One of my favorite sights was the La Sagreda Familia. This is a church that has been under construction since 1882! That's the longest building program at a church I've ever heard of. It's an amazing sight.

When I got back, one of the major zoos here held a "career day" for veterinarian students. a friend of mine works at the zoo in their IT department, and got a spot for Christina. Not only did she get to hear a great presentation, she got up close and personal with a few of the animals.

Vet school is really hard to get in - only one in ten applicants makes it. But I have a feeling that she's got a good shot.
