Wow – we have really been pounding the pavement on this whole trip. I must be used to little kid pace because I come back to our hotel everyday completely pooped.
Barcelona has been great. I try to pronounce gracias with a th sound in the middle, but I feel silly. Luckily the Spanish people are really nice and they make you feel comfortable even if you are a bumbling idiot from abroad. I love that we’ve seen such a variety of architecture here – from old gothic churches to colorful modern flamboyant buildings that date from the late 19th century and even some cool geometric examples from the 1920s. The other thing I’ve loved is the cool breeze of the sea. It somehow blows right into the city’s busiest streets and cools everything down. It has made hot humid crowded days pleasant. Here are some of our photos.
Last picture – this one is for Claire. I can’t wait to give her a gigantic smooshy hug tomorrow. It’s always good to come home.
Laowai
