Neither of us slept very well last night. There were a lot of people opening and closing doors as they were packing and placing their luggage in the hall. Also, Auburn played Ole Miss from 1:00 a.m. till 4:40 a.m. and I was up checking the score from time to time online. It was hard to sleep knowing the Tigers were in the middle of a football game seven time zones away. They won, so I rested a little better after that. I was still up by 6:00 a.m. and headed upstairs for a bite to eat.
We were off the ship by 8:45 a.m. We grabbed a taxi and were checked into our room by 9:30 a.m. No waiting for the room to be ready this time. It was great! We spent a couple of hours reading emails, posting pictures and reading articles about the Auburn game then headed to La Ramblas to find a place for lunch.
We found a nice outdoor café near Placa Reial, ate pizza and people-watched. Afterwards we strolled several blocks up Paseo de Gracia to the Luis Vuitton store. Unfortunately (or I should say fortunately) it was closed on Sundays. We took a few pics anyway then headed back to hotel - just a few subway stops away. It was time to rest up a bit before meeting our friends, Richard, Lauren, her parents, Joe and Dana, for dinner at Taverna Basca Irati.
Everyone showed up for dinner and we had a great time! The food was delicious, although there was a different guy behind the counter tonight who reminded me of the Soup Nazi, made famous by Seinfeld. We loved spending time with our new friends. They are a lot of fun. I hope we stay in touch. We found out we would be on the same flight as Richard, Lauren and her parents in the morning. I’m not sure who’s creeping on who here. We parted ways after a couple of hours together and headed back to the hotel for a good night’s rest before traveling back to sweet home Alabama tomorrow morning. Good night
