the sighting...
my first shot when i landed at the barcelona airpot was this view of the control tower. samsung did a pretty good job of advertising on that spaceship-like structure. little did i know that i would be the owner of the samsung tablet! just got one yesterday for christmas! love it!

yellow is for flower power
another flower shot from the la rambla in barcelona. i remember my colleague asked if these flowers were dyed, and the curt reply was "everything is natural in barcelona!" fresh as a daisy....i mean ...rose!

care for some peppers?
pimientos, as they are called in la boqueria, the food market in la rambla. i wish i had the time to eat in one of these stalls, but i guess these photos tell you more than i can say in words. it was just an amazing place! definitely the place to go for your gustatory needs!

manresa, catalonia
if there is one thing this small town is known for, it is this cave where st. ignatius de loyola practiced rigorous asceticism. the cave is at the end of this intricately decorated baroque-style hallway.
a different beach
a sculpture of metal palm trees line a portion of the area fronting the entrance to the convention center, barcelona. the site itself is near the beach, and it is fun to see people actually sunbathing beneath these metallic palm trees.

aside from the sights, one thing barcelona is noted for s the food! beats germany and france, even italy - big time! just love the jamon serrano de jabugo! just lovely!

am i in the right museum?
underneath the sagrada familia is the museum of how the cathedral plans were drawn by gaudi and how it constructed through the years. brilliant work! and the execution of his plans was nothing short of exemplary. bravo!
