What a beautiful day in Barca it was today!! We headed out of the city to the little town of Figueras to tour the Dali museum. The kids LOVED it! Boy, that Dali was a strange fella... wow... Our museum guide was interesting and the kids soaked up all Dali's works... they were amazing... AND we got to take pics! I'll be able to use it all in my classes!
Once we returned to town, we went for Paella - yum yum! Some kids didn't like it, but enjoyed the chocolate cake desert... but at least they all tried Paella. After lunch, the kids split into 2 groups and hit the shops... sorry parents :) We toured the gothic quarter and got to see all the winding alley ways and some amazing architecture.
Dinner was down along the beach - buffet !! Yippee!! Today is Dia de San Juan, so we took the kids down to the beach to see fireworks and bonfires. They enjoyed dipping their toes into the warm Mediterranean. There were oodles of people out, so we packed it up early. We already had 2 people have attempted pickpocketing. ... none were my kids, but both happened right in front of me. I shooed off one and a complete stranger got another guy who had his hand in another girls backpack.
It's late... and the celebrating continues... there are fireworks going off around our hotel and every single type of firework you could think of as well... ob joy!!
Tomorrow is a long bus day - heading to Madrid - lunch/site seeing stop in Zaragoza... or is it Tharagotha?!?! :)

Hola,
I loved your last comment, as the exploratory classes would watch a video that explained the different pronunciation of s and z in Spain. Funny!
