It's technically no longer my birthday...but oh well!
The day was fine, not too different from any other day, really, except that everyone and their brother wrote me facebook messages!
We got up this am to meet Christi around noon at the Museum of the History of Barcelona near la Placa del Rei. Mom, Dad, and Jess called while we were waiting outside--6 am at home!
The museum is especially awesome because it has the largest enclosed ruins in the world (I think), some of which date all the way back to 12 BC! One cannot even begin to imagine what that means, even when you are face to face with it! Bob and I walked through together...awed and amazed!
BARCINO-the ancient name of the city of Barcelona, this (comparatively) new sculpture is at el portal (doorway) to the old city
Afterwards, we all walked up Passeig de Gracie to see Gaudi's Casa Batllo...which requires its own entry...
