March 25 to 28 - Barcelona

You can't tell by looking at the photo, but this was a really noisy group of schoolkids playing in the backyard. And because it was a "corner" alley, the noise was amplified. They were playing some form of football/soccer but I think that there was more shrieking and laughing than kicking. Very cute bunch though. I was with a group of tourists on the "Gothic Walk" (conducted by the tourism office) and all our us were just momentarily captivated by this lively group of kids.

A gargoyle in the form of an elephant. Go Jumbos!

It's a candy store. Great name, eh?

The facade of a building along La Rambla (probably the most touristy street in Barcelona). It used to be an umbrella shop, I think.

Same facade. Don't know the significance of the dragon. But the umbrella's there.

Joan Miró's sculpture at the Fundació Joan Miró in Montjuïc. Completely irrelevant, but I had the yummiest toasted turkey & brie sandwich there. I don't get Surrealism. Does that explain the food memory?
