Returned back home last evening. It sure is good to sleep in your own bed again even if I was wide awake at 4:30am and decided to get up and start catching up on stuff.
Other than those very hot days in the middle it was very enjoyable trip. I hadn't been in Barcelona in about 10 years and I was amazed at the progress that has been made towards completing Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia Basilica. The last time we were there scaffolding was everywhere on the inside and virtually no windows. I wondered if they would ever complete the project. The inside in now stunningly beautiful with the light pouring through the stained glass windows. They are targeting completion in 2026 or 100 years after Gaudi's death and 144 years after construction started. |

I understand the rail system is quite good, did you get a chance to ride any of the high speed trains ?

Nope, my high speed train riding has been limited to Japan and China.

Anthony Bourdain is doing Porto, Portugal on CNN Sunday evening at 9 p.m. As that is on our travel list, should be informative.
