We have decided that it is a tragedy to only visit Barcelona for three days, which Martha is doing. She's already planning how to come back next year for longer. As she just told me, "I am very happy."
Anyway, the Merce began today and I have nothing to write about beyond what the Merce itself has to offer. So below is a video that's kind of long, but it has some of our highlights from today's Merce, including:
1. The traditional music and dance segment open to the public, which probably has a historic cultural significance that is far beyond anything we have in the United Sates, but nonetheless which sounds like the background music to a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
2. The dance of the giant people and the dragon that shoots fire from its nostrils in a large plaza that was crammed with so many people that the body heat alone made it uncomfortable to stay there, which caused us to go to the . . .
3. Ciutadella Park, where we did the rumba with the large colored people and bought food at the Van Van event, which included food trucks to meet every culinary need.
The video speaks for itself.
