Barcelona -Couchsurfing with Nora

I am enjoying an extremely authentic experience with Nora's family. We sleep late (one o'clock is very unlike me) and have a long leisurely lunch til three or four. Nora was very understanding about my strange interest in department stores and supermarkets. I arrived at El Prat airport with about five hours of sleep and an airplane breakfast in me. I met with Nora in front of the Café Zurich in Plaça Catalunya. We had coffee, which made me feel whole again. Nora’s flat is in the neighborhood of Gràcia, which happened to be having their Fiestas while am visiting. We spent a whole day poolside at the Olympic Pools on Montjuïc. Afterward, Milagros and Jordí brought the dogs up for a walk around the fortress of Montjuïc. The sun was a brilliant red as it set.
