Barcelona

They pretty much kick you off the ship around 8:30 in the morning.  Our flight doesn’t leave until 4:00 in the afternoon.  The challenge is to get us and our luggage to the airport at the same time.   And, we do not want to sit at the airport for 8 hours.  The easiest way to do this is to book a tour of  Barcelona.

 

The tour guide does her best to point out interesting landmarks and buildings.  She is very knowledgeable and tells us all the dates and people involved.  Soon I understand that in Barcelona, the architects are the “thing”.  We are not told which bishop or king built something, we are told who designed the building.

 

We see lots of Olympics sites.  And again, we are told who designed them.

 

See the Christopher Columbus Statue and old building pictures. 

 

With all due respect, this poor guide is competing with the Rome and Egypt for limited space in our brains.
