More Barcelona
To the south of the city is Montjuic, a small mountain full of parks and site of the Olympic stadium. The stadium itself is pretty run down at this point, home now to a lower level professional football team. But the surrounding grounds are still a popular place to lounge around, even in February. With artificial waterways and fountains, large grass pitches to kick around the ball, and a giant looming pointy thing, it's an ideal place to spend an afternoon. I like this one:

How did I take that?!?!
It's so sad to be in Barcelona
Gaudi strikes again.
Deciding on turtles or gerbils
Dog is decided on rabbits. La Rambla is full of florists and pet sellers. Pets being a broad term encompassing €800 turtles, giant roosters, gerbils, rabbits, and pigeons among other things. One night we passed the market again and saw two dogs (only one is really visible) set on this cage of rabbits. People waved their hands in front of their face: nothing. If a rabbit moved to fast the dogs would shift, but that was all. The kid was also staring, but I don't think for the same reasons.
Obligatory
