Hola Barcelona!

What a beautiful, erratic, fun city, itś really laid back and relaxed and crazy all in one colourful package, on one hand the tourist population is completely overwhelming, drunken lads from the UK and Ireland mixed in with middle aged Americans (who travel in packs) all mixed in with street vendors trying to sell you everything from 'genuine' fake bags to beer. We have done some of the tourist stuff, like visit Gaudi's work in the city as well as walking down las Rumblas just to see the hoopla that it inspires. We also had lots of fun wandering around the labyrinth of side streets and alleys full of beautiful shops selling jewelery and art as well as boutiques and chocolates, then all of a sudden you will stumble upon little out of the way public spaces with the locals watching the tourists take photo's.

This is Cathy and I in park Guell. We spent the day touring Gaudi's work in and out of the city. I went a bit crazy with the camera, more photo's to follow.
