This perfect little cafe was the scene of our first breakfast on the trip. We landed in Barcelona, checked into our hotel and as the room wasn't ready -- it was 9:00 am Barcelona time and 3:00 am New York time -- we looked for a bank to get Euros and then coffee. We achieved our mini-checklist and were fortified by big cups of cafe con leche and delicious pastry. A successful and yummy beginning to our trip.
My heart and thoughts have been with those affected by the earthquake in Japan. My friend's husband did a very interesting interview with ABC local news in New York. Jim is a geologist at Columbia and explained the scientific issue very clearly for those of us who aren't scientists. I tried to post the link, but wasn't successful. If you have a minute it's worth checking the ABC Channel 7 website.
Great to be awake and blogging. I'm looking forward to catching up in Blogworld. Have a great weekend!

Hi Buttercup!
Welcome home! I came back from Sydney, Australia last weekend! It was a beautiful city. I'm sure you had fun in Barcelona and I'm looking forward to seeing more about it.
The tsunami was horrible..my heart goes out to the victims.
What a great breakfast that must have been! I hope your Saturday is a great one!
A great beginning to your time away! Our house guest just left Thursday evening to return to her Madrid for eleven days as she has a wedding and a few appointments. She will be back with us until her internship is over in September. She has shared with us about Barcelona.
Some day I would like to travel. I did recently post about a day in Paris...through the beauty of the Philadelphia Flower Show :) Some day maybe the real thing.
Sooooooooooo JEALOUS, my precious friend. Enjoy & have a pastry for me!
Happy St. Paddy's Day ~
Have a wonderful weekend ~
