In Pursuit of Pablo!

“Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?” Pablo Picasso

Join King FM listeners and Jennifer Aydelott, Director of Development at the Seattle Art Museum for an art lover’s journey to discover the life and passions of the 20th century’s greatest artist, Pablo Picasso! Your arts adventure is set to commence in Barcelona, where the young Picasso began his own remarkable journey. Enjoy a privately guided tour of the Picasso museum, dine in Pablo’s favorite cafés and discover works by Gaudí, Miró and Dalí. Then we are off to the south of France, where you’ll walk in Picasso’s footsteps and stay in the charming seaside village of Collioure. The gorgeous light and scenery found in the South of France lured painters there, familiar names such as Signac, Matisse, Chagall, Dufy, Mackintosh and Picasso. Continuing our search we head deep into Provence and visit the very places where the artist painted and lived. Admire the works by the only painter Pablo considered his personal master: Paul Cézanne. Our journey culminates as we tip our hat to Chagall and life long competitor Matisse. Wine tastings, world class art, towering hill towns, Roman ruins and Provençal markets are all included as together we relive the life and recreate the world of the 20th century’s greatest artist, Pablo Picasso!

Bavaria, Bach and Berlin with Gabriel Fawcett!

Bavaria, Bach and Berlin! Designed at the request of Earthbound alumni who have traveled with historian Gabriel Fawcett, this small group journey promises be an amazing adventure. The opportunities for knowledge, food, music and sheer fun will thrill you, and you’ll feel at home in this land where so many of our Christmas traditions came from. Accompanied by Gabriel, you’ll stroll through some of Germany’s most historic and beautiful cities. Beer halls and the palaces of mad monarchs in Munich give way to medieval splendor in Nuremberg, a day of music heritage and living history in Leipzig and culminating in unrivaled experiences in Berlin.

There is simply nothing like Berlin. Recent visitors have realized that they’ve only scratched the surface and must come back, and it’s only in the last five years that many of Berlin’s prime attractions have reopened or been built from scratch. This most significant and fascinating old-new metropolis is now the Cultural Capital of Europe! Your four days here will crown a uniquely unforgettable trip.

ABOUT GABRIEL FAWCETT
Gabriel Fawcett spent two years working for BBC Radio News before leaving London to live and work in Berlin, Germany, where he put his history degree and obsession for the subject to good use by specializing as a guide around this city's unique sights. He is engrossed in Central Europe's sometimes tragic, sometimes inspiring past as well as its promising future. He loves nothing better than traveling in this part of the world and gleaning new material for his historical sense of humor. We suspect that he also enjoys guiding Earthbound tours to escape from his own cooking.
