Pictures from Barcelona

Here are pictures from our trip to Barcelona. The first group of pictures were taken from Sophia's camera.

I'm winking like the picture. There is a lot of grafitti in Madrid and Barcelona. Sophia liked this one so I got to pose by it. In case you can't tell, I'm trying to wink like the picture.

Yep. I'm chillin on a Mamoth.

Our market lunch: Assorted fruit, nuts, olives, and fuet (meat).

Sophia and I took a break from wandering to relax in this quiet plaza.

It's a meat market. I bought some fuet for lunch. Yum.

Whee!!

We don't need to buy a balloon! It's like they say, "Take a picture. It'll last you longer."

Barcelona's version of Pike Place Market has candy. Delicious looking candy.

Sophia going nuts!

I want a scooter.

These scooters are all over. And there are Gaudis all over too, just like the one behind me.

Sophia and I and Plaza Catalunya

A Gaudi!

Me and the Arc de Triomf.

The following pictures are from my camera during out trip. aka my perspective.

Sophia and her first time at the Mediterranian Sea.

Sophia feeling the warm sand between her toes.

I think this jungle gym rope thing is supposed to be for kids. But that didn't stop Sophia and I from climging up to enjoy the view.

Yes... that's a giant sea creature (crayfish) coming to eat us all with a big smile on it's face. Pay back's a...

This one is in Madrid... but that's ok. Jenny, Sophia and I had fun cruisin around the city together.

We had several stops in various Starbucks. They were the only shops that seemed to offer leche soja (soy milk)

I don't know what it is, but I like it.

The Mediterranean beach

Sophia and I enjoyed a nice stroll along the boardwalk... so did everyone else.

That looks like the start of a farmer's tan, don't you think? I know, I'm just as shocked as you are. I can tan!

Sophia had a fun time enjoying tapas and beer.

Pet stores in Barcelona are interesting. There are several open air booths on the main tourist strip, La Rambla. They have fish, mice, birds, rabbits, hamsters... Over my shoulder you can see some rabbit's foot key chains. Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I thought it was strange to sell rabbits feet when right near by are actual live pet rabbits for sale. Those poor rabbits have to look at those feet all day hoping they are cute enough to be sold as pets rather than taken out back to be made into key chains!

We enjoyed La Rambla.

The Cathedral is being renovated... but it's still pretty impressive.

Here we are on the steps in front of the Cathedral listening to some live performers around the corner. This picture was taken moments before Sophia was brought luck by a kind bird, by pooping on her back.

Plaza Real

Sophia and I ready to head out for the evening.

Sophia and her master detective skills determined that our roommates were female.

When we first got into Barcelona all we could do was follow the crowd. When they got off the train we got off the train with our fingers crossed.

She may not look like, but she is having a blast!

Sophia drank the water. Legend has it she will wind up living in Barcelona for good now.
