What are they thinking?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Don't they look great?!

They sat, in that pensive way, at a fountain located at carrer de Cucurulla on the way to the Cathedral (in Barcelona) and I couldn't resist.

Such a great place to take pictures.

The Heart of Barcelona

Plaça Catalunya is in the center of downtown Barcelona.

The park is surrounded by restaurants galore, shopping stores up the kazoo, street artists extraordinaire and birds ... lots of birds!

I love this area and I love the statue that you see.

So ... to my delight these 2 pretty ladies were sitting where they were.

And,

It was hard to know who was admiring whom!

Oh, yeah! And the suspenders added a certain touch, too.

Autumn Delay

It was Wednesday and la festa de Mercè was celebrated through out all of Barcelona.

In 1687, Barcelona was riddled with locusts and where banished by the Virgin of Mercy.

The miracle has been celebrated ever since with songs, parades, musicians and activities for all ages, on September 24th.

But the miracle of all miracles was the sound of water.

Jardinets de Gràcia, 2008

Yes! The fountain at the Jardinets was turned on and so were ALL the fountains from there to plaça Catalunya.

What a treat!

Spring was finally here.

They've been quiet since last summer as the city has been experiencing a dry spell this year.
