It is a little and beautiful city, situated near the seashore…

Sunday and we leave Paris.  It’s a rainy day so it helps us feel a bit better about leaving.  We will be taking a short flight from Paris to Barcelona.  At the airport the custom is to stand in a line waiting to board.  The line winds down the corridor, everyone is jockeying for a good position.  Of course we join in.  (even with assigned seats!!) Flight attendants walk down the line and check the passports and boarding passes then initial them so you may enter when the plane doors open.  When our tickets are checked she tells Pat “oh, you have an exit row, you must have paid extra! You may go to the front of the line!”
Hahaha…….. Nope.  That’s not going to happen. “Excuse me….  We’re in the front row, step aside all!”
We LOVE Barcelona!!  The city is absolutely beautiful, the people are kind and welcoming and the sun is shining and it’s a perfect day. 
 
On arrival at our hotel the front desk asked if we wanted breakfast the next morning.  After a ‘yes’ he called the chef to advise him to bake something gluten free.  (we had mentioned it when we made our room reservations several months ago.) 
 
 
 The room has the most stunning view of The Sagrada Familia in the city.
