Evening in Barcelona


Evening in Barcelona, originally uploaded by Laura Grace.

My last night here until I return in May. We had a lovely stroll up above the city with Armen & Maricarmen, who are graduate students working with Michael.

After this, we had a fine meal of tapas...

Michael's anxious expression was because he was judging that our "guest photographer" was pointing the camera too low to get much of the city... and he was correct.

This was taken on the steps above the Placa Espana.

Hiking near Port Lligat, Catalunya (Spain)

Within sight of Salvador and Gala Dali's seaside home.

In other news, I have purchased a new scarf (back at "home" in Sant Cugat, because it was cold. And a new hat because it's very sunny in Cadaques. And a "hoodie" because it's very cold here, too!

Casa Nun: salmon, mango & baked parmesan

following our hike... followed by paella!

just after sunrise...

and just before I went back to sleep... Michael didn't even know I was up long enough to step out on our balcony...

Cadaques: view from our balcony!

I'm not gonna lie to you -- we are VERY happy to be here! The little seaside town is gorgeous; we are in a perfectly lovely hotel on a quiet street; the walk into the main part of town is along the seawall... I'm so glad Michael picked this place for us.
