Have you been on top of Santa Maria del Mar today?

But I bet only a handful have been on the roof of it!

It was around sunset time,
Crystal clear autumn sky with barely a trace of cloud.
The wind was cold, but the view was amazing.
The Mediterranean Sea to the south,
And mountains all around the other directions.

So many “first times” since I have been in Barcelona,
And this has to be one of the most exclusive.
I still have moments when I find myself surprised that I’m in Barcelona,
Whether walking around the medieval streets of the Old Town,
Or simply taking the bus from university to home.

Will I ever get over being amazed by this city?

Love,
Claire

P.S.
In the past week,
We also visited the Picasso Museum.
I think he had ADD of artistic styles.
He jumped from the classical to the abstract,
And dabbled everywhere in between.
Then we had tapas with wine in a little square.
*Sigh*… what a hard life the Spanish live…
