This afternoon we walked right around the harbor, home to five cruise ships, and finally along the large beach, full of happy people enjoying themselves. We left the hotel just before noon and arrived back at six. The weather was perfect for walking.
Arter walking around the big harbor we came to La Barceloneta, a neighborhood of fishermen, now turning into a high priced home area. Today was Monday so all the balconies were hung with wet clothes. Right at the end was the long beach, Ken and I drank a cup of coffee on the beach. On the way to the beach we walked through a lovely market selling cheese and meat and fruit. The square just outside the market was a beehive of activity with children playing and mothers chatting. It was a very friendly scene.
When almost back to the hotel we stopped for lunch,, three thirty is a perfect time in Barcelona to have lunch. La Mar de Bo was the restaurant, right on the harbor. By then we were weary but sitting eating mussels and seafood soup was the perfect fix for weary feet. Finally, after eating and recuperating, we arrived back to our hotel.
Now we must pack as tomorrow we return to the US. As usual, we will be happy to be home and soon we will see our families, which will give us great joy.
