Barcelona

¡Ola!
hi everyone, well we finally made it out of france after a small detour through Toulouse where we enjoyed a day of biking around an a delicious meal of the local specialty - Duck!
So now we made it to Barcelona which is gorgeous! The people are very friendly and the streets are clean. But the architecture is really what amazes us here, each building seems so unique and of course all of the different buildings designed by Gaudi - he and Dali must have been on the same drugs, I mean...who would build a real life gingerbread house! I wish we could put up some of the pictures but the computer at our hostel won´t let us. Our hostel here is really good, in a very clean neck of the woods and last night we went out with a bunch of other traveling Canadians.
On Saturday we are flying to Rome...we were intending on taking the train, however the ride is 26hours...believe it or not we weren´t too into that!
So Adios for now and hopefully our hostel in Rome will let us post some more photos!!

Hi guys, wonderful to hear from you and all the details of your travels.
Barcelona sounds wonderful, it makes us want to go back to Spain. We are at Frankand Carols place so we are using Frank's gmail acct. but I have applied for one so we can post on your site by ourselves. Lola #2 says hi too! Dad got up to the cottage on Thurs.and got the dock in! So the summer cottage season is officially open. Beer anyone?
Keep posting,we look forward to your entries.
Love,
Mom & Dad
P.S. If you are traveling to Florence we'll need some advice on the real sites to see not the touristy kind!
