In one of the cathedrals we visited, it was dark and I snapped a picture of this nun. I can now see the Bible in the photo but walking by her, it looked like she was giving me the thumbs up and I appreciated it.

Zaragoza has their own version of a leaning tower. Apparently they built it twice and it was leaning the second time too so they just left it.

Yup, you too can have any part of the pig that tickles your fancy.

Whole eel looks pretty tempting.

They even had a pub called Calgary.

Shopping in the market.

Odd dish but apparently it is a local favorite – bread crumbs and grapes. It has bits of chorizo to add a little smokiness.

We made it to Barcelona. My daughter Tiff and Nadine’s daughter Shallon joined us.

Here we are getting ready to order up our first Paella. Apparently there are rules to what paella is and how you have to eat it. You have to use a spoon and eat directly from the pan – no point is getting other dishes dirty;

The one on the top is a seafood paella. The one on the bottom is duck but it is not a paella but rather just a rice dish as it has no tradition. Everyone seemed to like the duck (non-paella – rice dish) the best.

Barcelona has a surprise around every corner. I could fill dozens of pages just from wandering around these past few days. In the next post, I’ll feature our wine tastings, more foods and snippets from our cooking class tomorrow.
