Barcelona Day 6 (Sep 12 2008)

Hi. We checked into our second hotel yesterday. It is gorgeous, right on the beach, but facing the city. Yesterday I went to the Egyptian museum, here, then we had lunch and dinner on the beach.

I'm watching CNN on tv, hope your weather is going ok, hope North Carolina is still standing.

================================================================================

This was the day we moved from our regular hotel to the Hotel Arts, a nice surprise Dan's company set up for us. Dan went to work in the morning, I slept in, stopped by his office, then went out to kill a few hours.

By the way, this is the view from Dan's office. Turns out to be a pretty famous sculpture by Domènech i Montaner named "Cloud and Chair", and the building is the Fundacio Antoni Tapies.



I went to the Egyption Museum just because it was near by, but it was FANTASTIC! So glad I went.

From there I wandered on La Rambla for a bit, saw this fella,



then met up with Dan and headed to our new hotel (the one on the left).

We settled in, then took a walk along the beach and had lunch at a little shack on the beach.
