... UMZUG J ist gut zu erreichen. Es liegt im Bezirk Sants bzw. Les Corts, einem alten Stadtteil mit entspanntem Kiezleben. Am Wochenende spielen hier Opis Schach auf ner Parkbank, manch einer haelt ein Mittagsschlaefchen und die Omis tauschen fleissig Klatsch aus. Dazu kommen ein paar Studenten, Baecker, Cafés, Obstlaeden und was sonst noch so dazu gehoert. Was will man mehr? Freitag nach der Arbeit hab ich mir dann endlich ein spanisches Handy zugelegt und ...

... kinda close to the hotel and had some wonderful paella - Stephanie and I had Iberia ham and veggie paella, while Carol and Bernie shared the Fish and Chicken paella. It was so good! Stephanie found her next car. It was a teeny tiny Smart car. She said when she found it: "I'm taller than it, and that's saying a lot." Bernie got one more chance to use her Marriott Platinum Elite ...

We are staying in Las Ramblas on this visit, close to the port and the Barri Gothic (old city). On reaching the hostel we couldn't check in (being too early), and decided a good long walk was needed after 3 days in the car. Starting at the Sants train station where we dropped the car, we headed for Montjuic, the hill that dominates the towns layout by lying right on the water and acting as a visual focal point. The season is now starting to get very warm and ...

... Aussie crepes. And just arrived in spain. Such an interesting looking country. Little soccer fields dotted everywhere between spanish (believe it or not) looking houses. Weather dramatically warmer. Going to a buffet spanish dinner and flamanco dance tonight.

Although it has been almost a year, I figure I am better chronicalling my trip to Barcelona now better than never. Although some things have begun to slip into the abyss of my failing memory, I still retain something from my last destination before coming home from abroad. So, without further adeau, I present Barcelona.

The Romans founded Barcelona 2,000 years ago, dubbing the city Barcino ...

... which apparently has a thriving Finnish community. Luckily my traveling companion Katri is Finnish. (Interesting fact- in Finnish, they make no distinction between 'he' and 'she,' making for some interesting conversational tidbits in English.) But unfortunately, we must move onward and downward to the south, Gibraltar, and Morocco. I will certainly hold a special place in my heart for Barcelona though, as I definitely feel at home here in a pretty unique way. Love to all.

... tandem bikes and let me tell you that was never going to work. "So Ali you know how to get to all these places" now this is a typical Ali answer you will recive and often "More or Less" "so is it more or less" and he just laughs. We gather we may not see any sights and what do you know we where right. We spent 2 hours riding around Barcelona and not seeing anything of mention but it was a nice ride. Adam just terms these Ali cultural tours and we go on a few in the ...

... are tons of great selections. I liked it way more than Paris. However, the only bad thing is that I am BACKPACKING. So, there is no way that I can go crazy. I had to fight hard to let some stuff go... Okay... now onto the bad stuff about my stay... Or rather... scary parts. I did not get mugged or get my stuff stolen, although some girl did try to pickpocket Dannyºs bag on the metro. He shooed her off though. :) The scary part about my stay was that I ...

... a ´crazy person´ also. After an overnight bus from Valencia we are now in Granada. This place is a lot smaller and definitely has a real Spanish type feel to it. But what would another Spanish town be without some drama...when we walked up to the popular viewing platform for the Alhambra we witnessed a fiery, drunken Spanish domestic. After this couple screamed and staggered around each other for a good 10 minutes in front of the crowds of people, the ...
