Honeymoon: Barcelona




A great city with way too little time to see it. We shall be returning for a longer stay. We took a self guided audio tour, complete with I-pods, wandered away from the tour area, got on a city tour bus and were not asked for payment (lucked out), and saw some of the most famous architecture in the world. We also saw the cathedral cloiseters, complete with the traditional 13 guard geese. These birds have the life. We also walked through the art market, the antique market, the bird market (they also sold hampsters), the coin and stamp market, and past (but not in) the Museum of Erotica. Again, we will return, it simply was not enough time.


After we got back to the ship, we decided to cancel our guided tour of Lisbon, and spent some time at the ship's tour desk listening to our fellow passengers complain bitterly about every little thing that was wrong with thier tour. I wrote a note of complaint about the Capri tour, but even I wasn't this picky. Perhaps it is just the haze of nuptual bliss, but it continues to amaze us how many people on this amazing ship are just really grumpy.

Just a few questions: What have you been doing since Barcelona? It's been days since we've heard from you...are you on a honeymoon or something? Do you have any idea how many people are on a virtual vacation with you? Are you having the most excellent time of your life? I sure hope so.
