Day 3 - Let's Rumbla

Another beautiful day in Spain  . .but wait . . it is pouring rain and chilly.  We were not planning on the cooler weather here.  This morning we were suppose to have a tapas breakfast on the rooftop deck served by our host.    We adjusted and had a fantastic breakfast in our room.  They served Spanish hams (some can cost as much as $125 per kilo), a variety of cheese, tomato bread with olive oil, and a garlic/olive oil mix that is purely Spanish.  Oh, and they also provided pastries including a few bits of chocolate.  We were so full we didn't even eat lunch!

We waited for the rain to quiet down and then headed for our first trip on the metro.  We were amazed how far we had to go just to transfer trains.  Definitely not the same as the metro in DC.  Much more complex.

We got off at Las Ramblas station and started walking down the wide street.  It was street vendors everywhere. Our favorite was the fully painted actor art (not sure what to call it).  Each was unique and would take a picture with for a few coins.  Ken was looking for more t-shirts for friends at work.  I was looking for a Gaudi lizard replications.  It was fun going through all the shops and seeing the wares.

After a few hours of walking, Peter and I settled into a Starbucks while Ken and Kaleb continued the hunt.  Peter and I met a lovely couple from the UK.  They only had a 1hour flight to Barcelona.  No wonder there were so many Brits around . . .LOL.

We continue strolling around the stores through a bit of drizzle until the meet up for the cruise at the Hard Rock Cafe.  It was great getting to meet another family going on the cruise.   We didn't see anyone else, but I'm sure they'll all be on the ship in the AM.

We headed back to our flat to eat dinner and pack for an exiting morning getting on board the Disney Magic.
