our first day in Barcelona

by | Jun 5, 2008 | Travel

Even though we slept until 11am this morning, we still managed to take advantage of Eric’s one free day before the conference started. We walked all over Old Town down to the Barri Gotic Cathedral (which is currently undergoing restoration work rendering it completely non-picturesque at the moment). We also strolled around the Parc de la Ciutadella up to the Arc de Tromf and had a glass of rioja (for me) and sangria (for Eric) with some tapas in a quiet courtyard before tiring out feet at the nearby Picasso and Chocolate Museums. We have a ton of photos to share as usual, so I’ll try and get some up in the next few days. Buenos noches!
