Barcelona!

> My first stop on the way to Morocco...arriving here at 4 am EST, 11 am local time. I leisurely wandered the airport, determined to keep a peaceful focus, until I found an ATM and a bus which would take me to my Air bnb. Maria, my hostess was at the bus stop to greet me and take me to her lovely home in the city. We settled in nicely and she went off to visit her parents, having invited me to join them for a movie which I declined. I was aching to get in the shower and feel clean again, with plans for a restful afternoon and a stroll around the neighborhood. She directed me to a nearby restaurant, but said she'll be bringing home some vegetable soup for us later. It's nice to be among the Spanish-speaking again, although the language & accents are different fr om Costa Rica. Tomorrow I'll be visiting the Sagrada Familia and other sights here in the city, especially the works of Gaudi. I love you all...
