Hasta Luego, Barcelona


Today is of course all about the Mercé, but one question first.

Have you ever walked up a mountain to a fort in a thunderstorm?






We have.













But back to the action. What better way to honor the memory of a Catholic saint than to have hooded men shoot fire at innocent people? I was one of those people and I think it’s entirely appropriate.



And some brief excerpts from the Mercé, from the sound check of a popular band in northern Spain called Suu, to some French dancers.



And along the way, the Van Van, in which anyone with a reconditioned trailer can sell food truck food. The lines were long.

Tomorrow we are off to northern Spain for the next phase of our adventure.
