Wandering around the Gothic Quarter (Barcelona)




Here are some shots of the Gothic Quarter. The street scene is our street, Portoferrisima. We are staying on the fifth floor up on the left. You can´t see our balcony, but it´s there. Also, here´s a shot of some cured hams at one of the many meat shops around town. Almost one on every corner (they definitely have Starbucks beat). We buy our fruit and veggies every day at the Boquateria (spelled wrong here, sorry). A local, huge and amazing farmer´s market (open every day). And of course, V insisted on including the street musicians. He says he´s heard the best guitar players ever hanging out on the streets of Barcelona.

Dear Ms. Vaughn and Aviathar,
We all miss you, please come back. Shaina wants to know if there is a person inside the giant geni puppet. Eric thinks the puppet must be a mascot for a sports team. How big is the door in your picture, it looks as big as a whale. Dederick wants to see a picture of your classroom, and your room. Do you buy the meat like that, it looks gross. Jessica wants to see a picture of the other teachers.
Jorge wonders how you are doing?
Adam is wondering what your favorite part of the trip is so far.
Cami says we have been learning how to draw with Ms. Marlin.
We have been taking lunch count twice, and we finally got oatmeal.
Is it really hot there? Andrea
Is Aviathar all better yet? Has he gotten pick-pocketed yet? (Cami)
We love you, time for reading...
Maura and the kids
