Dry Spell

For the benefit of those not living here, Barcelona is experiencing a water shortage.

And,

They have sub-contracted a neighboring province to ship water here. Can you imagine that?

Fountains, everywhere, are eerily quiet.

Across the street from la Sagrada Familia, this photo shows a barren, dry space, where

Barcelona, 2008

Only 2 weeks prior, it was filled with water.

You can view the post, A Placid Laze, to compare the differences.

In the grocery stores, shelves are half-empty of bottled water and I now pay double for what is there.

Oh, well.

Thank goodness for coca-cola.

  3. Glad to see your post and wasting invaluable time for such people with nothing but valuable time to waste like me.

    Anyway, your whereabouts are safe with me.

    I am a big Christian Bale fan and will now think 2x b4 seeing the new Batman film.

    After watching Ford's latest Indie escapade I don't want to make a similar mistake ... at least for awhile.

  4. well nooooooo, the dark knight is overall a really fantastic movie and christian bale is overall a fantastic actor. so you should see it! the problem is they only had about 10 minutes of him doing actual acting... the rest of the time he just does stunts in his batsuit. on the bright side, heath ledger and aaron eckhart are both great in the film.

    agreed on the indiana jones thing... :S
