Entry 6 of 16 | show all | print this entry

We are still in Barcelona and having a great time. Yoday we decided to do the tourist thing like we did in New York. Not very cool, but taking a guided bustour is the best way to get to know a city really fast. Like I said we did this in NY and it rea;;y worked for us. Today we saw a big chuck of Barcelona, nore to follow tomorrow. We do realise that it's impossible to see all the shop. Barca is a serious competitor for NY when it comes to shopping. The city (wit 4 million people living here) is very busy. But at the same time it's a wonder of art and architecture. We've seen some buildings designed by Gaudi, statues that are hundreds of years old and some stunning modern art. It's really a city everybody should see and experience. For lunch we did the Spanish thing today. We had tapas and paella mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I even had a glass of Sanghria with all that yummy food. It has been dry all day but not very warm. Gives us a regular excuse to have hot chocolate, and I kid you not that is what it is. Forget hot milk with cocoa, it's melted chocolate in a glass, To die for. The Spanish are great when it come to chocolate, so I'm in naughty heaven. Have to go, can't get the laptop started so I'm on the hostels comp and my time is up. When my laptop works again I will upload some photo's.

Luv from all of us

I had absolutely no idea you were even going anywhere, you lucky lucky man...it all sounds awesome so far, and I'm very jealous that you got to see the aqueduct. But hey at least I have the good weather :P Hope you and your family enjoy the rest of the trip and have a great xmas and new year! catch you up when you get back,
