We took one of those Eyewitness Travel top 10 books on our trip to Barcelona. It has inspired me to come up with a list of my own, in answer to this question: Why do I love Barcelona? #1 It looks like home. Well, in parts, anyway. The marina with the boats tied to the docks, and down by the port where the cruise ships come in, and the cargo ships offload--in all that, I see Long Beach. Wal... Read Full Entry

Cucumber building

This is what we called it in front of the kids. You can draw your own conclusions about the inspiration for this building, which rather dominates Barcelona's skyline.

Ciutadella Park

It looks like a castle, but it's twentieth century.

Ari took this one, and you can't see it well enough. I was too blissed out to take over the camera.

Best so far...
This was the best update thus far. Now I understand why so many couples are looking for a place in Barcelona on International Househunters! I wanna go!

Hi A. I loved reading this piece on Barthelona, particularly b/c it was about a place that E. & I have actually visited. La Ramblas, where we had tapas (such tourists) and shopped. The beaches, where the "chill" lifeguard smoked cigarettes while E. drank beer. Dinners at 10 pm. Ahhh....oh yeah, and then there was the architecture. It makes me excited to read about your adventures with your family there, as I can kind of put it in context, realizing that it's the same place, just a different time. Very cool. I can't believe how many places you guys get to visit. Love reading about all of them. xoxo, .t
