The acrobatic waiter who is not a street artist

Okay … okay … a day taking pictures as usual on Las Ramblas when right before my very eyes I see motion of an unusual kind.

Showing off and "Y" not
Las Ramblas, Barcelona, 2006

I turn to my right and I see this fella being wild and crazy. Aha! I say to myself. A street artist entertains on Llano de la Boqueria, a sort of street just a wee bit off Las Ramblas, and I am here ready and available.

Satisfaction
Las Ramblas, Barcelona, 2006

I am full of wonder and excitement that this wonderful subject is performing for my viewing and picture taking pleasure.

He is Jose, a waiter, (hmmm … I’ve been meeting a lot of Jose’s in Barcelona lately) and he does acrobatics to unwind from a day with those pesky tourists.

He may be a great inspiration and you might wish to try what Jose does so easily. Good luck!

But, as for me, I think I might not try, at least for now.

Oh waiter!!!

While Jose is not a street performer, he deserves the honor to be in the same photoset as one of Barcelona's own street artist. He does them proud.
