Meaningful Moment
Deb and I took another day of downtime due to the rain. I certainly had not planned to spend any time in Barcelona, but I am glad we did. We've had great meals, a great tour and a chance to relax at the Barcelona aquarium. Not to mention the hours and miles spent walking around The Gothic quarter.
Random Thought of the Day
Although I'm in Barcelona, there's something about a Starbucks that it is my go-to spot for two mornings in a row. I think just for the ease of convenience, that it is going to be my go-to spot tomorrow morning just before we begin hiking.
There'll be plenty of stops in smaller towns for coffee con leche and pan tostado at the bars.
Notable memories
Barcelona will rank here, mostly because I really wasn't expecting much, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.
Tonight we stopped in a local empanada / tapa bar and had a really good meal. The people behind the counter were amazingly friendly, spoke to us in Spanish instead of reverting to English, and were laughing and joking with us.
Ended the night in an ice cream shop with a two scooper for me and a one scoop for Deb.
