Friday Night Exploration

{ Fire! }

The upper left shows us heading toward, or leaving, the Metro from, or to, our Apartment.  Can't remember which.

Apparently Barcelona loves McDonalds even more than people in Amsterdam.  They have a 5 story McDonalds here, dwarfing the paltry 3 story McDonalds in Amsterdam.  Though the 5th floor was completely dark, so maybe it's just for storage.  Since their food is so processed it never spoils it keeps for a long time.

Also came across a glorious fire display in one of the squares.

It's Friday Night!

Pretty low key Friday here, sorry to disapoint you, but at least I was able to carry around my GPS.

Yesterday was a huge celebration for the independence of Catalonia. When I was out running Wednesday I came across the set up for a huge celebration, so we made our way down.  Between guys walking around selling beer and random conversations with drunken locals (Vive Obama!) we had a pretty smashing time. As it turns out, if the person on stage says "Gracias" it is not always appropriate to respond "De Nada!"  Live and learn.
