Barcelona - Day 2

We spent our second day in Barcelona (with no luggage, still) walking the area surrounding the Cathedral. It was a great walk. Even though the cathedral is being renovated, it was still a beautiful building. We ate at an outside cafe on the, and were able to watch several street performers. They dress up in lots of costumes and pretend to be statues until you get close to them and then they perform for you. They let people take pictures, for a dollar or two anyway.





I loved the Christopher Columbus Monument. A little (did I say little I meant tiny, 4 people is all it fit) elevator took you to the top. There you had a perfect view of the city and the water.



From the monument we took a taxi that delivered us right to the front ramp of our boat. It's huge!!!!! We take off in a few hours.

Barcelona is a great city, even though we only spend a day and a half here we felt we got a good sense of the city. Now I want to come back.

I can't believe you don't have your luggage yet. Sounds like you are still enjoying yourselves.
