He sits each morning on a special ledge in a special neighborhood
smoking his special cigar.
His name is Antonio, an observer.
And,
His greatest pleasure is YOU!

Plaça De La Vila De Gràcia
Formerly la Plaça de Rius i Taulet is now known as la Plaça De La Vila De Gràcia and the plaza with the new name has certainly outdone itself this year.

Intense Intimisi
I'm trying to determine if I should delete the blogger and use
google+ or use both?
Can anyone out there give me an opinion?
I feel like the guy in the photo; ever so diligently contemplating what ipod he should buy.
And while I'm here, I'd like to let men be aware.
You are noticed.
Girls do look.
Even by little old ladies like me.

Uncle Ernie
I just came back from a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate the birthday of my great-uncle, Ernie.
What made the trip so important was that I found him after 35 years.
And, I got to wish him a happy 95th birthday in person!

Serving up perplexion
Ever try to take a photo of curved posts because for some unknown reason the posts just seem to hold your fascination?
And on the post is a kid who finds you his fascination.
Well ... after looking at this photo hundreds of times, I've decided that he gives purpose to the posts and so I publish this post.
That will teach him.

Behind the dark, the day
Flying from Barcelona to Switzerland, the dawn was breaking and I got to see the beginning of the Alps formations.
I remember words like grandiose, majestic, eerie and isolated coming to my mind.

Post work-out payoff
Jogging, joga, jumping certainly take a toll on your body.
And, what's a good way to have your body relax after such a strenuous workout?
Why, drinking La Casera, a sweet fizzy soft drink and vino tinto, or red wine, another popular drink in Espana and just about every where else in the world.
These 2 beverages combined with an intense workout and a power siesta will leave you relaxed and mellow.
See for yourself!

Emily
She was fun, tender and a great worker. She always greeted me with a hug y tenia una sonrisa que me encanta or a smile that enchanted me.
Now what fast-food restaurant do you go to where the worker embraces you?
She knew what I liked to eat and drink and always had my meal ready to perfection by the time I had to pay.
I loved the bocadillo con queso y bacon ... which is a bacon and cheese sandwich.
She left the restaurant for good to pursue a new line of work a year before I arrived back to the states.
She was Emily and I wish her, her new marriage and baby well if she ever googles this blog.
Hasta luego, Emily!

A slip of the leg
No need for her to worry about her clothes getting caught on any part of the bicycle except to catch the eye of a roving camera.

Halloween in the middle of summer!
On August 15, 2010, Barcelona's barrio of Gràcia will celebrate la Festa Major de Gràcia 2010.
I've missed the last several years of the festa and for nostalgia sake I post this video of the 2006 winner carre de Torder, MY ALL TIME FAVORITE STREET.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
Click HERE for the video!
Now, what is la festa de Gràcia you might be asking yourself?
Well, it's little streets within Gràcia that are outrageously decorated and prizes for the best decorated are awarded.
Themes run from pre-historic times to aliens and star-trek like creatures to quiet corners like reading for the kiddies.
It's Halloween except right in the middle of summer.
Children end up having a great time and grown-ups a better time.
If you click on CLICK, I found an itinerary of the weeks events displayed.
If you like what you saw, just search la festa on my blog to see more.
And!
If you're in Barcelona that week, go, go GOOOOO!!!!

Five steps for an effective meeting
Consider the location ... maybe a carnival might do.
Never miss your next job ... always carry your cell phone.
Surround yourself with colleagues who are youthful and good looking.
Check the weather ... sunny days make you happy.
And most importantly, wear comfortable clothing ... air-conditioned hosiery is smart.
