Fashion House Barcelona

... wacky and surreal place that shouldn’t be missed.

6. At this point, we parted company with David and Holly who were bent on seeing still more Gaudi work at Parc Guell, and we headed for Museu Picasso. We figured how to get there by taking the Metro and making the most our of our transit day pass. Thankfully, along the way, we found Churreria Granja, where we stopped for a sugar-topped fresh churreria and coffee. Our day just kept getting better and better when ...

... with orange marmalade and covered in honey and nuts. That thing weighed a pound at least!

After breakfast, we started to make our rounds around the city. We had a long list of gifts we needed to buy for friends and family and this was a great time to do it. We shopped in lots of little clothes and shoe boutiques, pottery stores, trinket stores, etc. it was a fun way to explore some areas we hadn't been to. We also ...

... lasagna. I'd like to know where they came up with the name of the cafe. We walked back across to the apartment and DH was back thank goodness. He showed me the trick to make the stupid-ass key work. Then we all took a long nap. Then DH had to go back to the conference for some meetings. The kids and I finally dragged ourselves out of bed (dang jet lag). The three of us ate leftovers for dinner then went back to bed.

... we saw La Sagrada Familia and went back to the beach and pretty much stayed there all day. Our last night there, we went to a club where we learned how to Samba dance. That was an experience...samba gets pretty weird when top 50 hits from 1999 start playing. Flashbacks to 7th grade dances anyone? Madrid And so the group split up. Karly and Amy headed to Rome, and Laura and I were off to Madrid. Our first day there was mainly a travel day. After a very frightening Ryanair flight ( I ...

... the other day in Cordoba. I needed something for my blisters and I still haven't found moleskin anywhere. I go back to town for the Gaudy walking tour but decide I will stay at HelloBCN for the eve. As of right now they had availability. My alarm clock is going off on my cell, and I quickly get bach to Centricpoint for my walking tour. I get on a bus and guess what my new Barcelona card is no longer working ****. From the bus I have to get on the metro. The metro people ...

... is a beautiful palm tree-lined and vibrant exhibition filled with locals and tourists alike meandering while admiring the various sights. Street performers line both sides of the walkway with anything from people posing as various statues to people juggling to magic shows to...well...almost anything. There is one street performer statue who is painted all white and sits on a toilet with his pants around his ankles with only a sport coat ...

... who served in Africa.

I would be remiss without mentioning the phenomenal job that Noni Keefer Delgado, Nancy Olsen Greenfield and Nancy's husband Larry did organizing and hosting the reunion weekend. Special thanks also needs to go to Mike Buisan who sacrificed one of the three days consigned to la cocina preparing the most amazing spread of Spanish tapas y comidas I've seen this side of the Atlantic.

In the final days leading up to the weekend of the reunion ...

... over by an oversized, gas guzzling, earth heating SUV Americano. 3. Style. To put it bluntly, it's just not the same in the cornfields of Iowa. For example, whereas mullets equal habituating Wal-Mart at home, for some reason they are the fad (punk, not trash) here. Essentially what I am saying is you can just get away with more over here. In fact, I'm comfortably wearing a pair of short pants (or long shorts) and nobody is questioning my sexuality ...

Well after a slight tour of the coast line and countryside we are back in Barcelona, I have heaps and heaps of pictures, hopefully I can upload some soon, I just have to get some time on a good computer to make the piccys ready for the internet. Anyway we haven't done too much here, we are spending a week or 2 here just to have a bit of a look around, we where staying at Alannas friends but they have some guests so Alanna and I organised to stay at a hostel. I came on this ...
