Yesterday was "museum" day. Sally and I slept in--we've been doing a lot of that lately--and then took a cab to the first of two museums we planned to visit: Funcacio Joan Miro. (There should be accent marks in that name, but my keyboard doesn't have them.)The day was...

Another sleep-in day. And I was alarmed to see what the aliens had done to my hair when I looked in the mirror for the first time after waking. :)Today--well, who knows? I think we'll try to find Mail Boxes Etc. first thing, so we can mail home our loot. I've kept up...

Today's tour included Casa Batllo, designed as a private home by Gaudi. Since he based many of his designs on shapes found in nature, sea shells, the ripple of waves, honeycombs, etc., his work has tremendous flow and beauty. Add colorful mosaic tiles by the millions,...

Barcelona boasts a wonderful acquarium--I took this picture yesterday while Sal and I were walking beneath an archway entirely surrounded by water. This is as close as I'd ever want to get to one of these guys!

OK, I admit it. I've never been a big fan of el Pablo--but I REALLY enjoyed our visit to the museum today. Since we also hit the Barcelona Aquarium, I had to make two ATCs for Day 13. (And there might be a third. Sister Sally, now wandering the streets of Barcelona...

Park Guell, in the almost rain.

I still miss someone(s)
