Joanie and Rhiannon go to SPAIN 2015 Olé!

May 20 - Exploring Barcelona

TODAY'S PICS FROM THE STREET


We walked and walked everywhere today. Lovely.


























El Born - Catalonian history and ruins.

Beautiful district, El Born. What we thought were tapas our first nite in BCN have now paled that we have tasted the real mouth-watering realities. 


Authentic Tapas in the El Born district - oh yum!







After lunch - more walking of these beautiful streets. The doors made me giddy!






Rhiannon is so thoroughly enjoying herself......














LUNCH - thanks to Yelp!  So glad we had cell phones with 3G.

We walked and walked lovely narrow alleyways all day and when hungry we yelped a restaurant. Hit bulls-eye with Tucco. Owned by two Argentinian brothers. This place is perfection.




You order your food up front, then find  a table and hang the old wooden spoon with your number on it on the hook on the wall behind you. Fun!


Greek cheese salad, and later vegetable lasagna. oh yum.


Loved this laundry scene!














We walked our feet off, but what a glorious day!


TRAVELING ARTIST ALERT

  • Wish I had packed even fewer supplies
  • wish I had made my journals from smoother hot press, not cold press paper
  • forgot white gouache, but found a cute and we'll supplied art store today
  • discovered that a white poster pen makes easy work of bringing back the whites
  • I should have brought a plastic placemat for working on, I tend to be very messy.

SKETCHING LAST NITE AND TODAY

Rhiannon fell asleep waiting on me to  upload all these pics. You will hear from her tomorrow.

Buenos noches.
