Rainy in Barcelona

Yesterday we walked and bussed around in a misty rain. Visited the Joan Miro museum. (his work is interesting, but not my favorite art). We hoped to ride an aerial cable card over the bay, but it was closed due to strong wind. But we did see the major landmarks in the city from the park where the Olympics were held.

This is a very, very international city. I love people watching. Unfortunately, I feel awkward taking photos of strangers. I am fascinated by all the variations on the human face and head. Of course there are a thousand different ways to dress, but it is interesting how many different sorts of noses and jawlines and eyebrows there are. People are sculpted by an artist of infinite skill, creative genius, and maybe twisted humor!

The W hotel is filled with 'beautiful people' of course. And many of them are truly, naturally beautiful. But even a plain or odd-looking person carries herself like a beautiful woman when she's wearing clothing that cost a thousand dollars!

Its fun to listen to all the different languages spoken around us. Conversations with waiters and people of other nationalities are generally in English. But the accents are of all different flavors.

Even if we stay in the hotel lobby for a couple hours, taking advantage of free wifi, we are hearing and seeing the whole world! Loving this vacation, rainy days and all.
