Barcelona rocks!

Today Barcelona is hot, a bit muggy, and sunny. We got up early and had a splendidly cheap breakfast at Pans & Company. There are tables up on the second floor, so we went up there and sat at a window overlooking Plaza Urquinaona, where
tropical plants crowd the sidewalk. Afterwards, we set off to the beach, a mere 15 minute walk away. It's weird, but somehow I lost 30 pounds on the flight over, the
Little Martini became fluent overnight in both Spanish and Catalan, and Dirty Martini's backache cured itself.

Ah, the sun, the sea, the balmy air. More later!!!!
