La presentacion esta terminada: The presentation is finished

FINALLY we got to present to a member of the council-town. It was really strange to attempt to present projects that we have only had a few months to work on to a man who has, no doubt, been trying to solve the problem of Placa de les Glories for years! When all is said and done, though, we still have a final presentation to prepare for...but tonight deserves some celebrating at Machito's in Gracia.

Dave flew in from Rome for the jury...whose idea was it for these two to sit next to eachother?!

Felipe, Professor Vidal, Mary, and Eugenia

Beer and Margaritas all around...did I mention this is a Mexican restaurant?

We are ALL relieved when the food arrives and we chow down!

Of course, what would a night out in Barca be without flower sellers interrupting all of the fun...poor Prof Vidal! (Hold your tongue, Sean!!)

After dinner, it was still only 1am...plenty of time to head back to Aldana, change into some fresh clothes and head to Sunset.

Of course, this not-so-pequeno-gatito made for a great pic of the guys, and for some fabulous entertainment for the girls and the locals hanging out on Rambla del Raval.

Vic and Spiro at Sunset...chillin...it was a pretty slow night for a Thursday.

But who needs everyone else when we have the three stooges?! :-D

example...Spiro, Billy, and Ben...about 1.5 seconds before the homeless man that Ben is stepping on jumps up and scares them all senseless!

Who doesn't love carousels at 4am?

Even the little kid in Rob comes out...sharing with Monica--precious
