We made our way east from Zaragoza in our little Kangoo to Barcelona for a three day visit. Our first lunch in the city was unfortunate. Mallory and I ordered spinach salads as we were craving vegetables after a diet long on ham, cheese and bread, but short on greens. Both of us got sick later that night and spent a whole day recovering in the hotel room while Lisa and Connor explored on their own. We were back in business by day three and got a chance to explore the city by bus and walking around. Lots of amazing architecture and art everywhere. We took in an impromptu concert in one of the many museums featuring three trombones to Connor’s delight. The Gaudi Basilica was particularly awesome. Hats off to the staff at Hotel Montecarlo for taking such good care of us during our stay.
