We're not in Lewiston, guys!!!

Pouring rain. Thank God we're not biking today!

Shared Familia, Barcelona

Barcelona: We arrived safe and sound, minus Anitas bag that didn't make the connection, but should arrive tonight. We've spent the last few days exploring the city on foot and via the metro. What a contrast from Paris, let alone Lewiston. Barcelona, a truly old gothic city. Huge old buildings, decorated iron railings and colored shutters everywhere. People crammed everywhere. All cultures all ages, all walking. The streets seem to go in every direction. Thankfully our group is blessed with two great trip trackers. Anita strides off, determined and confident. Managing the confusion like a native. Lori h a s her map and a bit slower but just as aware.

Barcelona Last Rambles market

 Our apt is perfect for a large group. There are three bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen and sitting room. It's very clean and situated perfectly. We're walking distance to most of the attractions, the metro and small grocery shops. Everyone slept great, despite Marika waking up at 1 am, showering and wondering why no one else was up. Anita bluntly informed her to go back to bed!!!!
We celebrated Helens birthday today at a great little family restaurant, we all sampled the traditional Spanish menu with help from our waiter. The meals where wonderful, including a beautiful banana chocolate cake for all. I was unable to include pictures today, but will include them later.

Happy birthday Helen!! Thanks for putting this all together.
