Barcelona



After two days of not feeling very well, today I feel fine. We rode a tour bus around Barcelona. We visited the Picasso Museum. I saw it when I was here 20 years ago, but I only remembered a few things. I didn´t remember that it was in an old stone, medieval building on a narrow street. They kept the original stonework and arches inside.It was very cool to see all that old architecture next to Picasso´s modern work.

Tomorrow, we´ll tour the rest of the city. My friends will see the Gaudi Cathedral. I don´t know if I´ll see it because I saw it before, and I remember it pretty well.

I´ve bought several pairs of earrings which were very cheap. Sadly, my sickness interfered with my wine drinking, and I will have to leave a full bottle here :(
Tomorrow night we´ll had home. First a flight to Frankfurt, then a night in the Frankfurt airport (Yippee!) and then a 9 hour flight to Portland. It will be good to be home and see how Magic is doing even though I´ve had daily reports from the pet sitter that he is fine.
See you all soon.

Adios Peniscola

Yesterday I was sick. I'm not sure why, but it wasn't fun. I didn't eat anything different than my friends ate, but only I got sick. Fortunately, I felt good enough today to take the train to Valencia again and take a tour of the city.

They have a group of 3 museums there that are just amazing buildings. We didn't go inside, but they were remarkable.

Tomorrow we'll take the train to Barcelona. We stay there two nights and then get back on the plane to head home.
