This morning we woke up, had a leisurely breakfast and caught the metro to the train station where we caught the ave (high speed) to BCN. Our seats were in the bullet of thr train. We got two seats facing each other with a little table And an excellent view. The people next to us were from NJ and very nice.
After checking into the hostal we went to the mercat boqueria where we got kiwi juice, jamon cerrano (fancy ham), passion fruit, and carried it all down to the beach for a nice snack. The sea here has little flakes like glitter, and is warm and clear. We walked in the surf for a while, and watched our fellow tourists bobbing in the waves.
Then, we walked through the barri gottic, the old 14th century neighborhood still tucked into modern Barcelona. We wandered aimlessly through narrow streets till we found an old church whose drain-spouts looked like women in agony.
We are now enjoying a late-night bowl of gazpacho with wine in the courtyard of a stone-arched library.
Tomorrow, we go to la sagrada familia, and parque guell, a day of Gaudi.
Besos y abrazos
