Champagne and a swim on the rooftop at sunset

Return to Barcelona!

More info later... I need some sleep now. Let me just tell you I didn't mind leaving the ship, and I loved London which is where we head tomorrow. BUT, I am so not ready to leave Barcelona! Lots of reasons but the biggest one is this is the end of our exploring. We are about to spend our time (in airports, cabs, hotels) flying back to London and then home. Our days in the sun have come to an end. We spent almost all our time out there. Meals spent relaxing outside in the warm breezes.

I should also mention the streets here. Sidewalks along the buildings. Small one way streets and tiny parking spaces, with huge pedestrian walkways in the center of the streets! That's the way the street runs here on Rambla Catalunya which turns into Las Ramblas which goes straight down to the water. The cross streets are the big ones that run parallel to the water.

Oh, this is shopping season too! All of the stores have big sales of 50-70%!o(MISSING)ff this week!

One more blog to go... the best of the best for us from our 2 weeks here.
