Day 2 in Barcelona


We've only got 10 minutes before we run out to the National Art Museum of Catalonia before they open at 10am (making today our earliest mobilization by far!) but that should be just enough time to throw up some pictures.

Yesterday was a long, sunny exploration of the city with Joey as our very capable guide. It included a walk to the beachside peninsula neighborhood of Barceloneta, some incredible paella on a side-street of same, wandering through the beautiful Parc Ciutadella and past the Arc de Triomf, and of course it all began at one of the many bustling open-air markets that the city is famous for.

A well-earned rest...

  1. I've got a big smile on my face looking at the market photos. It's sure not like "haymarket" in Boston. It is a true sensory overload. Looks like you got to experience it all. xo Mom
