The Road to Barcelona

Vineyards of Pézenas

Driving through Pézenas, France during a late starting European spring.  We had to pull the car over for this view.

Hivernacle

Sometimes not being able to sleep affords me opportunities to see the city with a different kind of light, and less people.  This is the Hivernacle en Parc de la Ciutadella.

Waking Up the Neighbors

These are the folks that are out in the morning that make it hard for those who stayed out late the night before to sleep in.  Good morning El Born.

French Spring

We completely missed our friend's house in Pezenas, France and ended up down a tiny, one lane dirt road.  As soon as we got on the road we should have realized it was the wrong way, but we decided to pursue it.  Fortunately, at the end of the road, we found this.

FC Barcelona Street Team

There are a group of boys that play outside of our window every free moment of the day.  This series of pictures was taken as Barça was winding up their season and had some important matches to play.  These boys took to the streets to support their team, but there was a problem.  Big brother wanted his ball back.

Big Brother States His Case

Game Time!

Our friend Bobbi took these pictures with my camera before a dinner party while we were awaiting the arrival of more guests.  I found them on the camera and loved them.  Thanks Bobbi!  Come back to Barcelona soon!
