Our First Evening

Saturday, September 25, 2010

Wow, what a night we had.  Went out to find some tapas and we noticed the street we were walking on was closed and people were lining up on the street.  We thought there must be some type of parade.  So we started guessing what it could be for as there we a number of people dressed up as devils and then parents were putting bandanas over their children’s mouths and goggles over there eyes.  We weren’t sure what was happening.  Next thing we know, there is someone coming down the street lighting off fireworks and gigantic sparklers.  There is smoke every where and the sparklers were flying.  We have many pictures that I will be posted in the Barcelona photo gallery  It was very cool.  It was all part of La Merce the largest traditional festival in Barcelona.

Lots of touring tomorrow.  The goal is to see the Museum Picasso, Sagrada Familia, Park Guell & Fundacion Joan Miro.  We stayed out pretty late last night and are starting off pretty late today so we will see how far we get.
