Las Ramblas is just the place to start when you want to go somewhere! We were being touristy on this trip because Nina's friend Carmen was visiting that weekend from Germany. The first is this gorgeous mosaic façade of a cafe and the second is the Boqueria (MarketPlace).
Who would I be without some ridiculous pictures of me making a fool of myself? I was eating a lemon after bocadillos (it reminded me of you, Paul!) and Carmen caught me mid-mouthful!
These are pictures of the Plaça Espanya, three blocks from our apartment building. The netro and about a hundred buses stop here! They host a bunch of different fairs here. This past few weeks has been the Car Fair... and since loads of people get around on motorbikes, they go to the fair (or the museum behind it) and they park right out front in the plaza. Its a sea of bikes!
So this is me in front od the big, half naked, half gone, broken winged bronxe at the Caixa. Last Saturday we took a tour of the Museums around Montjuic and this is the Entrance to the Caixa Forum.
The next three are pictures from and around the Joan Miró Foundation Museum. Its also a teaching school (uhhh, I dunno what other kind of school there is?) First picture: some funny little E.T. looking statue in front of the building. I wish they made keychains out of him... And yes, its a "he", look closely at the picture! The middle is a walk way around the back of the museum... its actually part of the Montjuic park.
And finally, the most random picture of the week! We were walking home and found an entire set of china (tea cups and plates) just in a box in the middle of the road... sooooo, since we're volunteers and not earning money, any dishes that are free are good dishes! This is me pretending to be that creepy person selling stuff from the back of an unmarked white van, LOL!
Now how's that for weird? Talk to you all later!!!!!
