Heading home from Barcelona

Wednesday May 18, 2011                   Day 322
On the way to the train station this morning, we made several stops. Roger returned to the souvenir shop and bought a second pin. This time he took the hat and allowed the clerk to attach it to the hat. In this manner, he avoided a second broken pin stem.
This is the door pull of a local shop. It is a whale vertabra.

Here is the door in which this whale vertabra sits.

We bought lunch at a bakery – quiches and sandwiches, to eat on the train. Peter also went to a grocery store and bought wine, chorizo and cheese, and we ate these later for a mid-afternoon snack on the train along with a baguette which we bought when we got lunch. Delicious! We were mostly through eating when a drunk-looking guy a few seats away hinted that we should offer him some wine. We did not, and eventually drank it all up – Peter picked up plastic cups when he got the wine. Later, the same scruffy-looking drunk guy approached us and asked if he could have some wine. Our bottle was empty by that time, however, and he turned away muttering under his breath.

Our guests went out for an evening in the historic section of town, which is where we live. Alicia apparently got seriously dissed for wearing a skirt and tennis shoes. One place even refused them entry.
