18Jul
We came, we saw and we were conquered by Spain-what a beautiful country - warm, welcoming and definitely on the “to be continued” list.
Barcelona was hot and humid but we managed to walk up to the funicular and rode out over the gardens to the fort at the top of the hill. The views were worth it. We spent a long time sitting in the shade to enjoy the view of the busy port.
We went to a local restaurant for dinner and finally had a seafood paella - perfecto - a culinary delight to end our Spanish sojourn. The next morning we walked to the Sagrada Familia - the cathedral in progress - we couldn’t get tickets to go in but the exterior was worth the trip - unusual, provocative and a work in progress,
We bid a fond farewell to Spain and flew to Sicily for our long awaited reunion with Mark, Koko, Taishin and Minako.
