From our room in the hotel with the hallway lights that make it seem like a brothel for hipsters, I realize that two weeks in Spain can seem like not quite enough. But it was enough to make the following final observations.
After all these years walking around Barcelona looking down (because you need to be careful not to step in anything) we briefly looked up on this trip and discovered that every 5-star hotel in town has a rooftop bar where you can see the whole city in a panoramic view. You can either stay at the hotels for $500+ per night, or you can just walk into the lobby with authority, step into the elevator, take it to the top, order a $5.00 glass of wine and pretend that you’re staying in a $500 room. After deciding on the latter approach, we visited more than one of these playgrounds for the wealthy.
I know that having fish clean the dead skin on your feet is a thing. But after seeing this ad for a spa in downtown Barcelona, there is no way I’m letting those animals anywhere near any part of my body.
I don’t know what “handicapped inaccessible” sounds like in Spanish, but I know what it looks like.
If you want to bring your dog a $150 souvenir artisanal collar from Barcelona, just let me know and I’ll give you directions to this place.
How narrow can you make a building and still call it a building?
When watercolors beckon, you stop what you’re doing and create some watercolors. Well, not you so much. Martha.
Nice watercolors Martha!
