Tancat par Vacances




Barcelona is ... the very udders from which the milk of human kindness is reaped.

Highlight of yesterday was walking down the (nude) beach, my feet getting licked by the waves. Discovering my house was pretty good too... as was realizing that I'm in a graffiti wonderland. My house has a dedicated piece of furniture for siestas. I'll probably just use it as a place to sleep when I have my guests.

Stumbled into the red light district yesterday which was depressing. Prostitution and drug sales are done openly on the street, in full view of the present police.

Highlight of today was... the busker's festival? Absolutely great street music... had so much fun at the Cuban band's show in the harbor. There was a really tight cadence/marching band too.

I saw the MNAC (Museu Nacional D'Art de Catalunya today. The Romanesque and Gothnc holdings roll deep... I ran into a art restorer from the Wooster Museum and had an interesting conversation about conservation.

Song of the day: Gabor Szabo - Gypsy Queen.
Bonus Beat: Bad Brains - Banned In D.C..
