We made it back to Barcelona on December 31 at 6:30 p.m. and had two hours to get home from the airport, change and get to Marmalade in central Barcelona. But we made it! We met up with our friends Tommasso and Susan, Tom and Marischa and Alexandra and Juan. It was a fun night - more good food and lots of drinks. We also met a British couple on holiday who were really nice.

Somehow the evening flew by. We wanted to stay out all night but we're just old I guess. We rolled home at about 3:00 a.m. on the metro although I can't remember it to be honest. New Years day and the days following were pretty quiet.

We decided to go to Port Vell on January 5 for the Three Kings festival. It was really cool - the kings sailed into the port on a big ship and all the kids were there to greet them. They take envelopes from the children with their gift list. Then on January 6, the kids receive their presents. The parade of the Kings started at the port and wove around the whole city. It was nice to see all the families lining the streets.

Christmas holidays ended on January 8 - back to work once again. But it was a lovely long rest.
