Meaningful Moment

Although the only thing that we have done is check-in, shower and lay down, being here with Deb makes being in Barcelona fun.

Our room window is open and the sounds of a European city indicate the is life down on them streets.

Random Thought of the Day

As we were walking around town, we passed some Barcelona firefighters who were out playing volleyball in their fire station courtyard.

Spanish cities have so much more character and culture than American cities. Families walking around. People hanging out. Hundreds and hundreds of street cafes pack of people.
