The harbor cruise wasn’t much to speak of, 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back in very choppy waves, but what was interesting was the flotilla of sailboats heading out to run all the way to Gaza. It’s called the Global Sumud Flotilla. I read that they were delayed by the bad weather we were experiencing that day but that they did leave the next day and are still enroute.
This picture is mine. We thought they were going to block the entrance to the harbor before we got ashore and looked it up.
And this one is from the internet.
I can’t resist any view that includes La Sagrada Familia.
We enjoyed another tapas meal. You get much smaller servings when you’re having tapas in a bar but these restaurant servings are most generous, enough for us all to share.
Park Güell.
This is my last visit to a Gaudí masterpiece and I want to note that in all these places with the 10s of 1000s of tiles, not a single one was broken. I am so impressed by the tender care Barcelona is showing for these places of drama and beauty.
This lizard greets visitors…
…and everyone wants their picture with him.. even us!
It started to seriously rain just as we were leaving and by the time we got all kitted up with these ponchos Lill bought, it had pretty much stopped. We were so cute, walking the several blocks downhill to get a taxi, that little kids pointed us out to their parents.
The view out our balcony.
