Barcelona

We finally made it. The last stop in our trip together. We had no trouble finding the apartment, it is right next to the big square in old Barcelona. Alec parked the car under the square while we got settled in. The kids are in love with this place. They picked their beds and room and just made themselves at home.

Alec and I returned the car just a little way away. In Paris, the agent had said that he thought that particular office was closed - but he was wrong. (I had assured him that I would take the car to an approved place, not abandon it on the street.)

We walked back, finding a place for dinner, where I made reservations, and the Barcelona team's fan shop. (glad I made the reservations, we got the last big table!)
An assortment of fried sea food. The kids both liked the squid tentacles.


Sausages, fried peppers, chicken wings and croquettes.


Potato assortment- the french fries had a garlic sauce.


Salad assortment under the pinkish sauce were little shrimps - Branwen's favorite


Bread with tomato smear


We were stuffed. The fan shop was stuffed also. There was a game that night between Barcelona and Madrid. It was starting at 11 pm so everyone, his brother and his cousin were stocking up. We decided to wait till another day.

OUR TV DOSN'T GET THE GAME. THIS IS CALDER'S FAVORITE TEAM. Good news, Alec can get it on the computer. He and Calder stayed up to watch, the rest of us went to bed.
