Danger

It was a nice warm day and we decided to go to plaça de Rius y Taulet.

As we approached the corner, we heard good jazz sounds.

There were lots and lots of chairs set and occupied. The crowd was standing room only except for this one young lady.

She sat there, she sat there you see with the sun shining brightly and its rays framing only her ... or so it seemed.

And that is the reason I took the photo.

But I suspect you have asked yourself the proverbial question:

Can sitting on cement for long periods of time cause derrier bunionitis?

Ah, you see, I know how concerned you are for the poor little thing!

And,

I don't know the answer.

Silly writing and I almost amused myself.

L’hora del Jazz

We were just a block from plaça Rius y Taulet when we heard music resounding.

As we turned the corner, the entire plaça was filled with people of all genders and sizes.

There was not a place to sit. We were completely taken by surprise because our objective was to unwind, relax and sip a cup of coffee.

Una DIVIDAM
Barcelona, 2008

It was L’hora del Jazz or the Hour of Jazz featuring the DIVADAMS. Three main vocalists, Araceli Aiguaviva, Carol Brunet, Loni Geest and on guitar Peter Lemberg, on base Manel Vega and on drums Pau Bombardó were entertaining the crowds.

I didn’t know about this event, because quite frankly, between la festa de Gràcia and la Diada Nacional de Catalunya, 2 big events in Catalunya, I was pretty pooped.

Imagine being tired having FUN.

And I still have many photos of la festa to download and photos of individuals that are just plain fun.

Bulletin: Les Festes de la Mercè, or Festival of Our Lady of Mercy, Patron Saint of Barcelona, one of the biggest events in Barcelona will be celebrated by all on September 19th to the 24th, a 5 day affair.

Sorry, got to go; got a lot of resting to do.
