Since I had two extra days - having left Cairo early - I made my way to Sitges, which is just south of Barcelona. Eric and I visiting there a few years ago and had a great time.
The train from the airport was free - maybe because its a holiday week here. By the way, Happy Easter and Passover to all. The weather was pretty cool, but the sun was out for two days. I walked miles along the beach. The most difficult adjustment when visiting Spain is waiting until after 9pm for dinner. But the food was worth waiting for - great paella and Spanish wine.
There´s lots of shopping in Sitges, but with the euro costing $1.57, there were absolutely no bargains. So I wandered up and down the narrow streets, just window shopping and people watching.
Today I left Sitges and am visiting my friend Roberto, about an hour north of Barcelona. I´ll tell you about my visit in a few days. Today its raining and I didn´t get to see much of the town. His house is amazing - high on a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean. Hope the sun is out tomorrow so I can get some amazing pictures.
