My Observations
Nice day. 7 mile walk today, to and from hotel to Parc Guell, designed by Antoni Gaudi. We could have got a transit card to rapidly travel to our destination, but...why? I might miss out with stopping at a shop that might have some goodies for me to smell in the doorway; flowers, bakery, or better yet, a pasteleria, pastries. Yummy!
Rather than write about today, view today’s photo album. Link just above the triptych photos.
My links today are from pre-tour research. I’ll skip the links for some of what we saw today and would have used. The links will be found on Day 7. On day 7, with group, we visit here and some other places. Then, after reading about the details, can take a ”virtual visit." A fun way to move from place to place. Room to room, with the movement of you computer cursor.
Not quite as good as being there, but better than just a still photo.
Here are internet links for highlights:
