Where in the World?

Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day. – W. Earl Hall

It was quite a change to wake up to blue skies and sun this morning. There were a lot of clouds but the sky remained visible until mid afternoon.

I took advantage of the nice weather and started off the day with a 2 1/2 mile walk. All in all I would walk another 4 1/2 miles for a total of seven or so. It felt great.

I caught a bus to Placa d’Espanya and walked down the Av. Paral-lel to Port Vell. After watching the boats for a bit, I then took a very leisurely stroll up La Rambla, which is a fantastic street with lots of street vendors, artists, musicians and mobs of people. A latte and plate of chorizo was in order.

I then headed to Palau de la Musica to grab my third geocache for the day. Back to La Rambla to catch a taxi back to the hotel. I met a friend at the airport. After a late afternoon snack we headed to a modern dance show at a theater near the Montijuic. A late dinner was needed. We ate at a wonderful Catalan style restaurant called La Bodegueta del Poble Sec.

That was enough for one day!
