We arrived on the red-eye (neither of us slept much if at all) and then at the hotel around 8:30 a.m. after an easy taxi ride.  Unfortunately our room wasn’t ready, so instead of a nap, we headed out to breakfast and then over to the Picasso museum.  After that we also walked in and around The Cathedral of Barcelona.   We went back to the hotel around 12:30 but still no room, so we went back out.  But now it was raining pretty hard, so we just grabbed a coffee/tea in a small shop to wait a bit longer.  We finally got a call around 1:30 that the room was ready so we headed back over and got a couple of hours of sleep.  Now we should be able to handle a 9 or 10 p.m. dinner like the locals!  🙂

After the nap we went out and had a snack, then explored the area on foot, before eating dinner at Los Caracoles, a place my boss Jon recommended…
