28 Feb 2015. <ES> El Masnou (Costa del Maresme), & Barcelona, Catalunya —
Today is a relaxation and recovery day! Warren catching up on blog, Suzie writing up her journal. We spent much of the day in the van, doing just this! Then we went into Barcelona, just to go to the shops in Las Ramblas.
On the way in we noticed a plaque on the station — some bright spark has removed the
Os at the end of words, and changed the
Y ('and') into an
I, effectively converting the plaque from Spanish to Catalan! Love these Catalan activists!
Also on the way in, we shared the train carriage with a group of four cyclists — you get bikes, and dogs, and beggars, on the train — always entertaining!
Then back to the van for a quiet night. Sometimes you just have to have a day off!!!
Distance driven — today, nil; to date, 14,402 miles ( 23,178 km )
A well deserved day off I'd say. You have to turn this into a book kids. I'm sure your friend Kate and I would help if needed. What a magnificent painting. He even made most of them look vaguely Hebrew. Got your postcard of Christ in the non crimson lake gown (see?). Lovely to see the Spanish soldier armoury rather than Roman togs. All those little stalls and shops out to make a few bucks. You must be overwhelmed with choice. Anyway, keep on keeping on. Love Cathy.
