Bye bye Mum & Dad

A sad morning, as we had to say goodbye to my parents, who had so graciously accommodated us for the previous few weeks. So long, and thanks for all the fish! *

So - we left France for Spain (Barcelona). Sadly, instead of the nice, air-conditioned Renault, we had an 8 hour train ride. This was mostly okay, but the train was boarded by 3,000 kids at Port Bou (we think they had been on a school camp), and there were no windows. Yeesh. Not recommended.

Fortunately, Barcelona immediately appears to be a wonderful city. We had a great dinner at "Attic". I recommend the divine sundried tomatos. Sell your children if necessary.

* not just a Douglas Adams reference, as I am progressing well in my vegetarianism. Am now down to just the occasional fish.
