Arriving in Barcelona

---

Hotel Suiza is in perfect location! Everything I want to see is either in walking distance or a short subway ride! I had a room that overlooked the Placa del Angels. First place I wandered to was the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar -- ad perfect place to go to light a candle before embarking on a cruise!

Around the corner from the church, I heard some interesting music and found that I'd stumbled into a gathering of Catalans doing traditional dances that looked a lot like Morris dancing!
