Inside the Barcelona Cathedral, this fountain was a little patch of green in a mostly stone world. This was just the first of many examples of mistranslations into English. Barcelona harbour by night.

From the top of the Mirador de Colom (Columbus Monument), there are some good views of the city. This is looking toward Montjuïc. From the Mirador de Colom looking up Las Ramblas toward Plaça Catalunya. From the Mirador de Colom looking along the waterfront toward the northeast.

The naval building. Barcelona extends as far as it can until it reaches the hills. Barcelona's industrial port area.

Part of the Olympic Plaza and the Olympic torch in the background (the summer Olympics were held in Barcelona in 1992). This was a meal we had for two. There were lobster (two kinds), clams (two kinds), shrimp, prawns, mussels, and sea snails. We finished it all! The outside of the Palau Musicá. Unfortunately, they did not allow photography of any kind inside.

This is me with a Canadian flag in the background. This Ferrari Testarossa was just parked with its flashers on at the side of the road. Perhaps its owner was getting a late night ice cream. Eggs for sale in the Mercat Boqueria.

Canadian Cherries! The Plaça Catalunya with a guy doing handstands. We took a sail on this 75 foot catamaran.

The Barcelona skyline from the ocean. Looking up at the sails. Unfortunately, we didn't have very much wind that day. The view out the window in the head (you can see a similar window on the other side of the boat on the right hand edge of the picture). The water really did look that blue.

Under power on the way back into the harbour. The Customs building with the setting sun.
