Thanks for Your Good Wishes...

...but my technical skills are vastly overrated. I have no internet access on my phone here, so I am relying on the old-fashioned, tried and true computer. It took a little thought to figure out the @ sign, as it doesn´t work the same way  in Spain as in the United States.  But I´´m figuring out the keyboard and grateful for the chance to blog and catch up with friends and family.

The flight was great -- half empty and a nice dinner. Barcelona is beautiful. Our hotel is in the area near the Olympic Village, which has become a very nice residential neighborhood. A number of small and relatively inexpensive restaurants are nearby. We did the bus tour this afternoon and will pick two or three sites to visit tomorrow. I would happily stay a few more days, as there lots of things to see. Great museums, great architecture and a beautiful harbor.

I´ll be back later in the week. Good wishes for a terrific Thursday!
