Crack On!

Hola. Hoy vemos La Pedrera y es muy fantastico! We saw La Pedrera, an apartment building designed by Gaudi, not far from where we are staying. We took the audio tour (very good idea) and toured through the attic, the rooftop and the 4th floor. It is the building, on a corner, with wavy balcony fronts, with amazing metal guardrails. Very organic and curvy, build around 2 central lightwells to bring light into the center of all of the units. It is quite amazing. We also ran around Psg Gracia shopping, and down into El Born. We got off the map and later this eve we even got lost. After finding ourselves strolling down these crazy narrow cobblestown alleys with shops and tourists, we managed to find ourselves alone, yes alone, practically screaming 'rob me, please!!' We had walked down to the water. Then we found our way back to La Ramblas and up, but after taking another alley trying to find a certain Tapas bar, we again were lost. This time we were faced with a large street of auto traffic that we did not recognize. We had to ask for assistance from the police! Anyway, we made it back, then walked back to our hood expecting to eat at Domestic, a local place that CONTINUES to THWART us!!! Last night it was 'es una fiesta privada (for develop disabled...) and tonight, esta cerrado! So we ate at Flauta (here a flauta is a long narrow skinny sandwich), they offered salads, tapas, flautas and big dishes. It was a fine deal and back home early like a good tourist. These people, what a schedule. When we came home earlier from shopping, between 4 or 5, the streets were deserted, and shops closed. Then after siesta when we ventured out for more shopping, strolling and eating, the streets were ablaze with cars and people in a hurry. When we ate dinner at 8 ish, you would think a bomb had dropped, no one in sight; they can't make it out to eat until 10 ish or later!!
