My Week in Pictures

And a few words, at least...
I was away for the week in Barcelona because my little one had to have surgery done. Thank God all went well and he is recuperating faster than the speed of light or than Spiderman's web! Whenever I have been to surgery (sounds like I went on a cool trip, which it wasn't) my recoveries were long and painful, so I'm quite amazed at how children's bodies react so rapidly and just get better! By the pictures you might think we were actually on holiday. It is a good thing that exhaustion doesn't appear on pictures.

Randomness; View from the plane, street art, Mercat de Santa Caterina, my little one right after surgery, and crocheting on the plane on the way back.

This is what we do best when we are there. We eat and eat! Especially the wonderful pastries like; ensaimadas (the round pastry), melindros (the flat cookie like),  churros (deep fried sticks) and the hot chocolate (as a hot chocolate should be, thick!!).

Have a relaxing Sunday!!

Giova.

Adorned City

You may or may not know that I lived in Barcelona, 2 maybe 3 years. I'm starting to forget things like that, or maybe I'm paying less attention? The point is, that I have a deep affection for the city where my  youngest son was born and his first steps were taken. During his first months, he didn't want to nap at home so we ended up walking and walking and walking. It is a good thing Barcelona has the best weather and the center is so beautiful and walkable, otherwise it would have been some very gloomy months.
Everywhere you look there is something that catches your eye. Adorned pavements, lampposts, benches, facades, even the tiniest nook where you might think there is nothing, there probably is!
So if you visit Barcelona, look up and down, left and right, and take pictures of the insides of buildings even if the man inside is shaking his head! Here are some things that I did pay attention to!

HAPPY Monday!
