Sights of Barcelon

Hola Amigos,

The playgrounds just keep getting better here. The one at the zoo was excellent, but today we found one which rated a 10 for the parents near the botanical gardens. Not only was the equipment good, there was a bar/patio attached where we bought cafe con leche, Fantas and beer! In a glass! There was a large group of Spanish kids playing, their ´supervising´ teachers were sitting back enjoying a few smokes, some conversation and some drinks. The playground bar also serves wine, whiskey, etc. I think we need this at Riley Park... Also some good notes for the Ecole King George playground/garden committee.

In the garden, we found a large hedge maze which entertained for about an hour. We pretty much had the place to ourselves in spite of the fact that entrance is free on Wednesdays.

After, we went down to the beach for a final visit before moving on to Valencia tomorrow. We saw a fashion photo shoot featuring a female model in very skimpy underwear, and a totally naked guy who went for a swim in the chilly ocean!

Also, we have seen some great architecture yesterday and today - the Sagrada Familla and the cool appartment designed by the same man (genious) Gaudi. We want a house that looks like that.

Thanks for comments. Will update pictures soon.
