We read your blog post again from when you were in Barcelona and we are trying to see a few of the things you did but we more or less just wandered around a lot and just looked at all kinds of sights. We really enjoyed our first full day in downtown Barcelona and look forward to seeing even more tomorrow.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-59915681982025141352017-01-04T16:19:17.824-05:002017-01-04T16:19:17.824-05:00We tend to agree with you Rita and I think most of...We tend to agree with you Rita and I think most of that has to do with the communist style apartment buildings which we basically nondescript, whereas here there is a lot of colour involved and that really makes a difference.

It seems that some people are totally amazed by it and others not so much. Considering the churches, cathedrals and basilicas that we have seen over the years, some of them really, really good, I think it will be hard to compare especially when you consider the dollar amount involved.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17831521716747922372017-01-04T15:58:20.326-05:002017-01-04T15:58:20.326-05:00Some of the very popular ones will certainly be mo...Some of the very popular ones will certainly be more expensive, I guess we will see as we check things out.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15746242803782853702017-01-04T15:57:24.337-05:002017-01-04T15:57:24.337-05:00If the last couple of days are any indication, I t...If the last couple of days are any indication, I think we are going to have a fantastic time here! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-71368368869411476242017-01-04T15:56:30.492-05:002017-01-04T15:56:30.492-05:00Unfortunately we didn't make the hike but we s...Unfortunately we didn't make the hike but we still had a good day.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58577341628666444012017-01-04T15:55:55.583-05:002017-01-04T15:55:55.583-05:00Definitely think it should be on your radar!Definitely think it should be on your radar!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79275695050204498632017-01-04T15:55:25.601-05:002017-01-04T15:55:25.601-05:00I hope by the time we are done with our tour of Sp...I hope by the time we are done with our tour of Spain that we will have convinced you to book a trip here. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30721890042375086142017-01-04T15:54:30.544-05:002017-01-04T15:54:30.544-05:00I know Cameron would love that climbing structure ...I know Cameron would love that climbing structure and we thought of him right away when we saw it!
