Continuing on, with some more pics from Barcelona!

Barcelona is an old place, full of beautiful gothic architecture.

More glorious Barcelona street art.  I could wander the world and take pictures of street art forever.

España - Street Art Bonus #1

Barcelona was full of street art. Everything from typical rattle can graffiti, to sticker art, to large murals. A lot of the art adorned the many roll-up doors that covered shops when they were (frequently) closed, which made for entertaining walks through the stone corridors of Barcelona's backstreets.

Here's a typical Barcelona shop, in closed form.  Shop hours seemed to be basically willy-nilly. Most of the doors did not roll up until 5:00pm or so.

Here we are, on deck for 14 hours of traveling.

The big four O

To celebrate, we went over to San Fran and then up to Dry Creek for the Passport Wine Event.

Always a nice time over there.

Okonomiyaki at Izumiya was on point. We so miss Japan!
