The Final Day

Posted on November 27, 2016 by If It Was Today

On our last full day in Barcelona we retraced some of the same route we had taken a week ago, just after we arrived. We discovered a small market with local food and wine that we assumed we’d missed last … Continue reading →

Odds and Ends

Posted on November 26, 2016 by If It Was Today

Another quiet day as we approach the end of our time in Barcelona. We didn’t do much of anything today – just walked, nowhere in particular. As always, we were amazed at the layers of beauty the city has to … Continue reading →

Something Different

Posted on November 26, 2016 by If It Was Today

Today we took it easy – even by our standards. Our guide book includes a number of self-guided walking tours, so we decided to check out the walk through the area where we are staying. I’ve already covered many of … Continue reading →

Park Guell

Posted on November 25, 2016 by If It Was Today

A Rainy Monday in Barcelona

Posted on November 21, 2016 by If It Was Today

Sunday in the Park

Posted on November 21, 2016 by If It Was Today

Barcelona

Posted on November 20, 2016 by If It Was Today

We decided to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel. The idea was to have room to relax while still being close to all the major sites. We were not disappointed. While planning this trip, whenever we mentioned we … Continue reading →

Dallas

Posted on November 17, 2016 by If It Was Today

Dallas is an interesting city of contrasts – at least the tiny little corner I managed to see on this trip. We ate dinner on an outdoor patio overlooking a small park … in the middle of a freeway. Strange … Continue reading →

The Day After

Posted on November 15, 2016 by If It Was Today
