Barcelona, Day 2.

I contribute out total success of un-befuddlement to a free walking tour offered by Sandmans New Europe. These are the folks running around in red shirts collecting the totally clueless and patiently guiding them into the subway, down the street and all over town. It’s Barcelona 101. We had a guy named Ed. Ed is highly educated in history, and an excellent fast talker which he needs to be in order to download this massive amount of information to the totally clueless.

As we marched around the Gothic neighborhood of Barcelona he covered the squares, cathedral, churches, architecture, sculpture, traditions, culture, music and more. The tour was around 3 hours and I’m not going into specifics, you need to come to Barcelona and meet Ed for yourself. In our defense, Mike and I did a massive amount of reading on things we wanted to see and do but without Ed’s introduction it would have taken weeks for us to find these places. We hadn’t been on a subway in 35 years. So thanks Ed. Also if you go on one of these tours; these guys work for tips, so don’t be afraid to show your appreciation.
