Its crazy but I woke up the day after leaving Barcelona missing the rituals of tapas....terribly. Its the whole process of going to the La Boqueria market sitting by the bar stool and ordering a just about as many plates as I can see and washed all down with a glass of wine or beer. Its not my normal routine to have vino or cerveza with my afternoon meals but this is Barcelona so I order away. My agenda in Barcelona has been simplified to the following; wakeup, eat tapas, walk off the food, do some sightseeing, take a siesta, walk to find the next tapas eatery, eat tapas, walk off the food, sleep....and do it all over again the next day. I love it here, the food is just fantastic for food lovers especially meat lovers. Of all the places thus far, I was able to converse comfortably in spanish...its not perfect but my ability is better than I thought. Spanish words rolled out of my mouth as if I´ve been taking lessons, I don´t even know where it comes from but it sure came in handy as we navigated through the streets and menus. For those who enjoy taking photos, Barcelona has fantastic architectures and lightings for you and your camera to get lost in. Most notable architect is Antoni Gaudi...check out the videos...once I upload them in the meantime you can tantalize your eyes with the wonderful images.
