Tecki on the spot

¡Hola!

Reporting on location from Barcelona.

The flight in was every bit as restless and uncomfotable as we could have hoped. Nothing like entering a foreign city where you barely speak the language after very little sleep.

The trip from El Prat airport was an exciting adventure in multilingual public transit. Several transfers and broken spanish conversations later, we arrived at our hotel. A pretty little place, no agua caliente, but the beds are comfy and the rooms are clean -- especially after the maids get done with their slamming and whatnot. It sounds like they rearrange the furniture every time they clean, or that´s the impression we got as we tried to take a nap.


But, post-nap, we found ourselves enjoying the winding maze of streets in the barri gotic, never minding that we had no idea where we were at any given time. Maybe a little worried late at night, but everyone was out and about. We had great food for lunch and dinner, and enjoyed bebidas in a little bar where a squat old lady held a running dialogue with no one in particular. Lots of characters in this town.

Well, time to go out and explore some more. Especially want to ride the metro a lot to justify the expensive barcelona cards we bought. The more you ride, the more you save!

¡Hasta luego!
