Hola from Barcelona. We are into our rental place by the beach for a few days now, and really enjoying the summery weather here - up over 25 degrees a few times. We had some problems getting into our place - agent never answered his phone - and some problems when we got in - drains were plugged and there was a flood - but we have managed to overcome, and the place has turned out to be nice and convenient. We are in the neighbourhood known as Poblenue, near a metro stop and a 5 minute walk to the Med.
So far we have strolled the beach, visited the Olympic harbour, the aquarium, the Museo Picasso and the Museo Maritimo. Today we spent 5 hours at the amazing Barcelona Zoo. David has really liked the attractions, James´s favourite spot is at the top of a very tall play structure on the beach. He has learned to say Hola to all the other kids and quickly engages in whatever game (pirates, bionicles, etc.) they are playing. We have figured out the transit system and will have time for a few more adventures before heading off on Thursday to Valencia, home of the America´s Cup Yacht race.
Again I am unable to attach pictures as I am at an internet outlet that won´t let me pug in. I´ll try to get some new shots up soon.
FYI - we are not checking our hotmail address too much as our shaw account is working fine. Please send messages to robanddeirdre@shaw.ca
We are all well, and starting to think that maybe 5 months in Europe might just be do-able after all!
