Barcelona









Barcelona was lots of fun - Morgan came to join which was awesome. Gaudi mania!

We attempted to do the open-top tour bus one day. It started raining the minute we boarded. We tried to tough it out on the top deck but it was no use...we got soaked and could not even open our eyes to see the sights. Had to stop for a bottle of wine part way through. Rode the rest of the time on the inside of the bus, not the best view b/c of all the ads painted on the windows. Miserable tour - but definitely something to laugh about once it was over. Not sure I even took any photos that day.

Morgan and I took a walk to Park Guell - randomly stumbled upon a poster for Toots & the Maytals playing in Barcelona on the 8th. We stood in line for an hour and got tickets! Such a cool venue, reminded me of the Great American Music Hall. The crowd was as rowdy as I have ever seen @ a Toots show, bordering on mosh pit. The chant for encore was futbol (soccer) style. So cool.

Jesse has some photos of dinner with Khobe & Doug... and the climbing of the Gato sculpture! Hysterical. They were nice enough to let us use their apartment in Barcelona as a make-shift travel agent. From this office space we planned our Easter holiday to La Molina.

  1. I'm happy to report that Toots is live and well...a bit more of a gut...but he's still sweet and dandy.

    We also had a beautiful day on the ocean when it was nice and sunny...and excellent people watching with some nice cold Heineken.
