barcelona!

arrived in barcelona today, and so far it´s been pretty easy to get around with my rudimentary grasp of spanish, although i´m not familiar with catalunyan...

had some transportation glitches along the way, notably in toronto on the way to london, then the tube gates shutting in front of my eyes upon arrival at heathrow, then missing the first train to wolverhampton... then a half-hour delay on the virgin train to birmingham airport...

but, i finally made it to barcelona in one piece and i´m gonna stick around for a few days before heading down the coast (and perhaps get on a keyboard at a place where the caps key works!). my first impressions of barcelona are all good!!!

dress fitting yesterday in wolverhampton was traumatic, but the important part is lucy is relaxed about it all, and it will all work out next week!

ciao for now peeps,
gail
