Well Barcelona has been a blast!
We have not stayed out as late as we would have liked on most nights and now as we get to the end of our trip we are finally getting into the swing of this Spanish way of life!
Lots of walking in old neighborhoods and my feet are feeling the effects. But it has been all worth it. I have only once walked into a moving car *the steets are narrow and people,dogs,mopeds and cars all share the same 4 foot wide space. The guy driving his beamer gave me a dirty look since my elbow hit his side mirror and I gave just as dirty a look back!*
The artwork has been plentiful along with gaudi's influence of architecture on the rest of the city. We have seen lots of his standing work from la sagrida familia to the parc guell and a few current residences in use.
The metro has béen mastered and we are old pros by now. Only once did we get separated trying to board and I knew where I was going so I just took the next train. We got separated because this is the first city I have seen where people actually wait to let others get off and there is not enough time to get on.
We have been to el quim *a tapas bar* twice in the boquateria and the food has been out of this world. Also had a great seafood dinner last night near the port and we were lucky to get in without reservations. Can Rose has been around for 5 generations and it shows. The fiedos was so yuMmy!
Picasso was on our list today as well as parc guell and we had the same idea as the rest of Barcelona as most things are not open on Sundays.
Before that we went to the main Cathedral and did some people watching and got to see some local music played. It seems like a tradition for the locals to come out and dance in the main square after noon mass and it was fun to watch.
Cafes and people watching have become apie early evening routine as we write postcards.
Off to get some dinner and tomorrow go to Montsarret in the morning.
