Toes in the Mediterranean Sea At Last!

Dear Family and Friends:  We've been reading a lot at night as there is no telly and no internet in the flat as of yet.  There won't be a telly so we'll be able to get a lot of reading done!  Yippee..I finished the book "Gold Finch" by Donna Tartt.  Marvelous book!  

Our flat owner, Graeme, called and has offered to do a swap with us in the future.  We'd go to his 3 bedroom house in Eix en Provance and he and his family would come to the flat in Barcelona.  We'll keep you posted!

Today we waltzed down to the sea shore and scoped out the Barcelona Marina and area and then I took off my sandles and put my feet in the Med!  Cold....there were people swimming in the sea, sailing, and boating.  Many people were on the beach sunning themselves and enjoying the rays.

Only the tourist trap-like shops were open.  It was a quiet and peaceful Sunday!

I leave you with an interesting street photo.  Not sure what is going on in the photo below.  Any guesses from you would be appreciated!   Parking for piñatas???

Sleep well--til tomorrow,

XO Ellie and Gary
