Back from Barcelona

THIS IS THE HOSPITAL I SPENT THE LAST TWO DAYS IN.
Now that's got you thinking huh?
Only in Barcelona do you find something so functional and beautiful.
I've just got home .
Its pissing rain, my credit card was declined at the airport when I tried to get a car and I feel like shit.
Bruised and a definite ache smoldering away inside.
Its been a strange 10 days.
Work-wise all is"A-Okay"
But I feel like the guy below. I've got a few more pics of Barcelona, but frankly I'm done with the place.
I'm back in the UK for a while but in Edinburgh Thursday for 24 hours ( pronounced "Edin-bur-oo", not "Edin-burg" for the benefit of all my yankee chums) .
I'm not thinking much about next week right now as it's 2 am and I want my bed. I'll leave you with a look at some grub and more Gaudi.
I'm quite bored of wedding cake cathedrals that will never be finished.
Yep quite bored of that.

A bench at the side of the road, ham in every bar, Football buskers and alleys

A simple bench at the side of the road.
But it feels more like a work of art than somewhere to rest your feet though nobody seems to do so.
I did with a smoke, coffee and donut.
Jambon in every bar.
Alleys that invoke cool feelings.
Tourists everywhere.
Beer, wine and a scary walk back to the hotel at 1:30.
This being Spain, the only buskers doing serious business have a particular set of skills with a round ball..... Alleys and shutters.
I''m a sucker for both.
Its almost impossible to get a cab when you need one here.
They're cheap when you get em, just hard to come by.
OK
That's enough.
As of late, this post has no deep insight or ruminations of note.
Just pics really.
None of you read the words much anyway.More to come.
Love to all

Greetings from Barcelona

Gaudi is a big thing here.
I had a couple of hours wandering today and shuffled around las Ramblas. I got a few cool pics but have no time to post now.
I will as and when.
Yes I'm still alive and kicking

Love to all
