Has anyone been to Andorra? We have three days free later this week and we're thinking of going. Suggestions?

LOL. Eh...that takes care of an hour. Or two :)

The area is gorgeous nature wise in the mountains and all, but I don't remember much to sightsee. Now admittedly I was there two decades ago with my dad and brother biking up and then down the Pyrenees, but I'd have remembered something outstanding :)

We just booked a spa resort, so finding things to do won't be a problem :)

New passport stamp!

Thank you for weighing in.

Hey, nothing ever wrong with new stamp and spa time! Also, I can't imagine your mom and you ever being bored! :)

have fun!!!

Is there actually an Andorra? Because it totally sounds like one of those made-up countries from which the hunky-but-heavily-accented prince comes from in a terribly written daytime drama, doesn't it?

i was thinking more princess bride, but yes, i had the same question! :D

Ha - yes - Real place!

IKR! But yes - it is an actual place - between Spain and France. I first thought of that Princess Diaries movie with Anne Hathaway when I heard the name.

I love that being a geographically challenged 'Merikun means that there are countries in Europe whose existence is a surprise to me. LOL.

I get the Princess Bride vibe others have mentioned, but my first thought was that Andorra sounds like a Star Trek/Star Wars planet name.

Ha - very true. Although I don't really think this one is our fault - it is only 18 square miles.
