On Thursday we confirmed (thanks, McKie!) that the reason we had been having so much trouble getting train tickets to Barcelona (despite several attempts on-line, at Lyon and at Gare du Nord in Paris...) was that Thursday was a transportation strike in Spain :( Well, we were not going to let that stop us! We decided to drive all the way - what is 400+km to Americans, anyway? It took about four hours after having to backtrack to get my stuffed animal Georgie (accidentally left at the last stop) - and it was so worth it! David and Anjali have a great place and we loved exploring Barcelona for a day and two nights before having to fly back to Paris.
In these photos you'll see us dropping off our trusty car, Xander and his "new friend" in town, and exploring town. Thanks so much for your great hospitality - McKies!! xx
