WANDERING AND WONDERING

 Still in SPAIN on a beautiful Saturday, so off we went to the Harbor and beaches.  We didn’t expect to be in Barcelona this long, so had nothing planned. Luckily for us, it’s an easy town to explore on foot and we were enjoying the gorgeous harbor and mega yachts. Some of the yachts are way bigger than the small ship we had been on, which was 300 ft. I took pictures and when  got back to the hotel, I looked them up on the internet. They were mostly Russian Oligarch yachts! Oh yeah…. Trying to find safe moorage as the war between Ukraine and Russian is going and these guys don’t want their “toys” confiscated.  We saw parties going on….lots of crew, all dressed alike, and unbelievable wealth for these ships. 

We wandered into museums and then made our way to the beach..which, by our standards looked crowded. People told us it looked deserted compared to summer. On the way back, we wanted a bite to eat and went by rows and restaurants, and finally ended up (unknowingly) in one of the few VEGAN restaurants….but it had wine…and beer. The waitress was from Sweden, and she said she was looking for something different Sweden. She got it. 

Arriving back at our hotel, we had news that a NEW Covid test would be taken by us in the am…and everything would be fine. Hmmmm.
