Friday night in the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gothic)


People waited in long lines to get into places like this one . . . So much for no wheat and no sugar. Pictured here you´ll find Aviathar´s son Quan and Hua (a guy from Taiwan visiting Barcelona that joined us for chocolate) and our little table of treats. Also pictured is Denise, a friend of my friend William who lives in Barcelona (and who has spent the past two days showing us around). Later on last night, we went to a restaurant and ordered paella. Aviathar got a bad mussell and has spent most of today feeling ill. I´m very proud to say that when I went to the pharmacy I was able to explain in Spanish that "mi esposo comio mussels malos y esta infermo en el estomago". Who knows if I was even close, but the pharmacist sold me something that very closely approximated Tums. Luckily, I did not get the bad mussel . . .
