BARCELONA!

Today  is Thursday.   We had an early wake up call and boarded a high speed train to Barcelona.  The train was such a delightful ride.  The seats were leather and reclined nicely.  The best thing about the ride was that it was absolutely silent. It looked like a silver bullet as it sped through the country side.  After we arrived in Barcelona, we took a nice walk to a culinary restaurant. The wait staff were so cute and attentive.  The food was delicious.  I had calilonies stuffed with sausage and topped with a creamy cheese  sauce and a crusted Parmesan topping.  I then had duck with a chutney, fruity sauce. We enjoyed our meals very well.  Then we walked in the streets and took in some shopping. The city itself has a lot of apartments.  Again, it is very clean and not much traffic. We also went to an artwork shop.  We learned how to make a mosaic dish. I found this very relaxing to make. It needs to be baked in a kiln at 800 degrees Celsius.  We will get them tomorrow.  I am excited to see the finished product!  We also practiced Salsa dancing. That was a lot of fun. It took place in a studio down a windy street.  It was very ethnic and Latin. We all enjoyed the lesson.
