Turns out what we thought was the La Rambla last night was one block over from the real one. Slight navigational error. You can see from the pics that you can come down to La Rambla, buy a newspaper, watch the street performers, pick up a new pet…yep…you can buy parakeets, fish, turtles, rabbits, even ferrets, etc. all from a street vendor. You never know when you might need to go down to the street corner and buy a new pet. Next, we went to the Barcelona Cathedral. Unfortunately the outside of it is under construction. We took quite a few pictures from inside but the lighting inside the cathedral does not do the cathedral justice. The cathedral is very large and very beautiful. After the Barcelona Cathedral, we went to Musea d’ Historia. Here we saw the massive underground Roman catacombs that was once the original port city of Barcin. We snuck a picture or two. It’s interesting how the Roman’s would recycle stones to rebuild walls. Next we went to the Picasso museum..sorry, pictures inside were not allowed. The market in the Born District was closed so we didn’t get to see that. After all the walking around, we rode the metro (like DCs metro). Afterwards we tried to eat dinner around 5:30pm. What were we thinking? Dinner here is not served in most restaurants until 8pm.
Day 2 in Barcelona
