Last Day In Barcelona

Our last day in Barcelona before we fly down to Malaga, pick up a car, and drive to Cordoba in
Andalucia. In Barca we visited the Contemporary Art Museum and saw three extraordinary and varied temporary exhibitions of artists that we had not heard of before, but all of whom really impressed us. Rabascall, Meireles and Bayrle all provided unique perspectives on society.



We walked down the bustling main street of La Rambla, stopping off at St. Josef's Boqueria, or marketplace. Hanging jambon (hams), and a multiplicity of fruits, vegetables, bakery, and fish were all being displayed for sale.

Love that jambon. Had our big STAR celebration today and we credited you with our entire success. Thanks for sharing your great tour. I really liked Barcelona--a long time ago. Have fun, Bill

Bill,
We are all STARs! Barcelona was fantastic. One of those cities where we kept saying, "I could live here." Actually we say that about most places we visit. Rather like a love affair the newness of a place is enticing. And yes, I actulually tasted a sliver of jambon. Stay in touch.
