My mom calls herself Star Wars - Gracia Part 3


There is a guy in our neighborhood that makes Star Wars figurines out of wood.  I tried to talk to him a few months ago and tell him that "My mom loves Star Wars, a lot".  He was utterly confused and we never came to agreement on what I was trying to say.  After we walked away, I was a bit dumbfounded, and it suddenly hit me.  What I had actually said was, "My mom often calls herself Star Wars."  


This street was, by far, the most crowded in the Gracia Festival.  It was one of the best as well.  This one is for you, mom.

Gracia Part 2

This street was decorated in a swing dancing theme.  Gracia has a swing school called Swingmaniacs and it's very fun to watch.

Gracia Part 1

We went to the Gracia Festival on Friday night.  Gracia is a neighborhood in Barcelona with an amazing local flair.  It has rich culture and great food.  I love going to Gracia when I have the chance.  The festival happens every summer in August, and streets will decorate with recycled materials and try to make their little street the best.  Some have live music, and others just awesome decor.  We walked down this one, which was a sewing theme, and there was a brass band with drummers.  Pretty lively crowd!
