We arrived in Barcelona around noon on Sept 10, a bit bleary-eyed after an uncomfortable overnight flight (seats not meant for human habitation), but so relieved and excited to finally be here! Even though we desperately wanted to sleep, we headed out for a leisurely afternoon of looking around. With luck, we’ll get a good night’s sleep!

Lori loves a market and Barcelona’s didn’t disappoint. Jane was delighted to see that the America’s Cup is being held here, this month and next, with preliminary races already underway. (Just missed yesterday’s!)

Always a bit of a space/time continuum warp when you leave the changing fall colors of northern USA & arrive in Mediterranean breezes & palm trees swaying in 6 hours time.
