Barcelona

Leaving the hotel now for the airport, taking advantage of the free "wee-fee" (wifi) here. Barcelona is nice but full of tourists this time of year. We had dinner last night with a friend of friend, Ulisses, who lives in Barcelona. He took us to a Catalan restaurant where we sampled cod fish with creme, roasted red peppers with garlic, a mixed salad which means lots of olives in Spain, and a nice assortment of Catalan cheeses. Wine: Ribera. I haven't had a bad glass of wine yet in Spain.

Visited the beach in Barcelona and also the produce market "La Boqueria". We also had several failed attempts to visit the contemporary art museum (closed Tues) and the Picasso museum (didn't make it on time). "La Boqueria" is great if you happen to be visiting Barcelona anytime soon.
