Another glorious blue sky day so we headed out to get subway tickets for the week which we found to be very reasonable at 25 Euro for as many trips as you like for 5 days. The system is very easy to negotiate but of course we managed to try to re-enter a station we had already entered so had to slip through the exit gates the wrong way. A local couple beside us were very concerned for us – we are not sure if they were warning us that we were being watched on security cameras or if it was our bags they were telling us to keep under closer control (as if we needed that advice). Either way it was nice that someone cared, I told you the Spanish people were lovely. Our first trip was just to Sagrada Familia Cathedral but the crowds here were overwhelming so we’ll do this early tomorrow morning and then take a jump-on jump-off tour around the city sites. We used the subway across town and also walked all over the lovely old quarter. Tried my first Sangria at lunchtime and found its a great alternative to the Rose I’ve been having in France. Eric has moved on to Sam Miguel lager which seems to be hitting the spot. Saw the statues in La Rambla, the protesters in Placa de Catalunya, the Barcelona Cathedral and visited the Picasso Museum. Weary by now we came home and the in-house chef decided he was ready to cook up a Spanish meal so we ventured back out to the local supermarket. Problem is this supermarket and every other one we found were closed. Is that a Monday thing? Who knows. We found a fruit and veg shop so its Spanish frittata tonight.
