ok, so mean mamma is home again....so home that her family patiently waited for her to cook supper,as if they hadn't really eaten since she left home....having seen spain, i cannot really say that i want to go back.....not like france...i would leave at this very minute to go to paris. barcelona is byfar myfavorite place to bein spain...iwill go back to see the finished sagrida familia...whenever that may be..in 2012 or 2024 or so......that will be worth the wait..but the rest of spain is not on my list of places to visit again.....maybe because of the language gap....or maybe because i felt so very tired to be there.....gaudi was certainly the draw int he end...notthe bilbao guggenheim that spawned the trip in the first place......gaudi,it seems is every bit the genious that flwright was in america when it came to innovation in design...of course, i will miss the l.o.-who is a fine fellow female traveler........thanks for the jealosies........
