Don’t forget to look up…

I think I did Mr. Pep a disservice. His voice is not so much like Barry White’s, instead perhaps more like Richard Burton’s. Sorry, Pep.
Today we walked and walked and walked. We saw lots of Gaudi. We saw lots of cool buildings. We saw millions of French schoolchildren. We were going to take the tourist bus, the one that stops everywhere, but the lines were long. So we mostly walked. It is hard not to look like a tourist walking here – you want to keep looking up at the buildings, into the pastry shops, even down at the ground. Even the sidewalks are interesting here!
But, I must admit that I am getting tired. It’s been close to three weeks since we left, and I am feeling a bit weary. Tomorrow, we are entertaining – some Spanish friends of my mothers are coming into Barcelona to see us, so we are going to cook for them. Then Saturday, our last day, I just want to go to the park and drink wine and not think about getting anywhere.
Tonight we are going to hit some tapas places around the apartment – we may even go back to Cal Pep because last night, we went there to see what everyone was eating (which was mostly the same stuff we ate the night before) and we discovered a menu! So if we go back we will be prepared.
There is so much to see here in Barcelona. I need at least a month (but first I have to recover from this trip, before I think about that one.)
I wish I could be a professional traveler.
