More fun than Mayonnaise... or at least equally fun... OK, it's less fun, but you're still reading...
the computer was down for two days... (interstingly, the same thing happened in the middle of my may trip last year)
highlights:
- tibidabo: amusement park on mountain overlooking barcelona... unfortunately, we didn´t go to the park... you had to buy a full amusement park pass and we only wanted to the ferris wheel above the city... the view was still nice, although polluted...
- bistec cappriccio = beef cappricio = raw beef.... i only saw the beef ¨with parmesean cheese and butter sauce.¨
- susie planned day trip to figueres to visit the dali museum designed by dali for dali. it was very dali.... a little tacky at times... a little dark and disturbed at times... but very intersting and much better than the picasso museum (just his early work) that we saw the day earlier.
- tried ¨horchata¨... supposed to be almond juice... tasted like carrot juice with cream... yeah....
- today i ate every pastery i could find coated in chocolate... croissants... dessert waffles... and chocolate pudding in a crisp kit-kat cone coated in chocolate. shot for the chocolate museum, but was never able to find it.
36 hours left....

I hope you have had a chance to walk down some side streets and see the mosaics on the buildings, especially near Las Ramblas!
Posted by: Louise at May 23, 2006 12:28 AMOn this side of the med they serve 'latte di mandorle' a very sweet almond milk, wondering if that's anything like horchata.
I'm not fond of chili peppers covered in chocolate, I tried them, che schifo.
