May 26th-30th-Espagna

    Some things in Barcelona never change....work on Gaudi's Sagrada Famglia continues as it has for the last 150 years.

Christopher Columbus still stands at the harbor pointing towards his home in Genoa, Italy.

The Spanish people are still passionate about their social issues. Being caught in the middle of their demonstrations at the top of La Rambla brought back memories of the sixties...dummy bullets and police helicopters overhead a little frightening, but invigorating at the same time!

There's still room for plenty of color and whimsy at the other end of La Rambla.
