Barcelona! 2/1 - 4/1/06

Barcelona is an awesome city to visit. Miquel and Nacho are awesome tour guides. I can't remember all of the places we visited, but I can remember the wonderful, warm sun that was with us every day. Temperatures hovered in the neighborhood of 13-15C (high 50's for you Fahrenheit people) during the days and never got enormously cold at night. The old city's narrow streets are a maze to the unfamiliar (i.e., us). The newer city streets are much wider and can be quite crowded. Yummy food included tapas (yummy mystery things on bread), cheese, paella, and traditional Spanish breakfast (bread, tomato, olive oil and a hint of salt with ham, cheese and/or other goodies). The kiwi were on steroids. For most of the wandering, I left the camera at home because I was more in the mood for relaxing than minding a camera. The visit was definitely too short, so a return is inevitable.
