In August last year, we took a four day trip to beautiful Barcelona. We stayed at our friend's flat few blocks away from Sagrada Familia, so it was easy to walk everywhere and take it all in: Casa Mila, La Rambla, Park Guell, Barcelona beach, Barceloneta... ahhhh it was lovely! We had delicious tapas, great paella by the beach plus lots of sangría. Barcelona is the place to go!
We do, however, have sad memories of the city. Actually, we had NO memories because our camera dissapeared! I want to think that I lost it (too much sangría and no attention to my belongings), but others argue it was stolen from our table at the tapas restaurant. The camera was old, but it had lived a good life and above all, it had our pictures! I hated not having backed up the pictures the night before. Oh well, we did manage to get a disposable little camera for that last day we stayed there. Where are those pictures then? As you can tell, it took me a while to:
1. Take them to a pharmacy to have them developed
2. Picked up the pictures like a month later
3. Remember to take the pictures to work since there is no scanner at home
4. Scan them
5. Save them
6. Post them
ughhhhhhhh.... It feels so old school!
Obviously, the pictures reflect 0.01% of the beauty of Barcelona. I might as well post them all here since these are the only evidence of our Spanish adventure. Oh, I wished I could have posted my pictures from Park Guell, it's such a gorgeus place!
Note to self: Next time you visit Spain, hold on to that camera!!!!!!!!!
a view from Casa Mila (you can see Sagrada Familia far far far away)
Casa Mila, or La Pedrera

The coolest roof I've ever visited (Casa Mila)
Gaudi rocks!
It's hard to take these pictures with toy cameras
Vamos a la playa!

Love Barcelona!!! Should be back to visit this summer. And had an experience of losing a camera (although not in Barcelona, as it were). Goes to show that all expat lives run along the same parallels :-) (or is it :-( ?)
