Solo Barcelona

Well, Operation: Move to Mallorca is starting off as a pretty big fail because today I flew back to Barcelona. I'm telling myself that I'm just heading home to pick up my stuff,* but I feel like we all know where this is headed.**

The rest of the fam is continuing on with their vacay in Morocco while I head home. That means I had the afternoon and evening in Barcelona to wander around before flying home tomorrow. 

I went to one of the art museums we didn't have time for earlier in the week, Museu Nacional D'Art de Catalunya. It had some lovely things but the views leading up to it and back to the city were definitely the best part!***

I ended the day with a Spanish guitar concert at the beautiful Palau**** performed by Manuel Barrueco. He could have played an hour of "Twinkle, Twinkle"***** and I would have been happy just to be in the hall, but he obviously didn't and it was really lovely. There was a theme and variations that made you laugh, cry, and "ooh!" I have no performance pictures,****** but there are more beautiful hall pictures!

This most likely ends your 2016 Spring Break edition of "Teacher Summers"! Stay tuned this June when I fly fish******* in Alaska, tour Naples******** with the Celtic band, and squeeze as much South America as possible into two weeks. 

Super hearts!

*Mostly the cat. 
**School on Monday. 
***New amazing photography technique: have a fleeting torrential downpour pass over the museum while you are inside and immediately clear up when you leave to have blue skies and few other tourists in your pictures. 
*****Never before has a string teacher asked to hear "Twinkle, Twinkle."
******Please join me in pretending that I have no during-the-concert photos because I was diligently obeying the "no photos during the show" rule and not because they came out all weird because of the lighting. 
*******Guest-starring UK!
********Florida. We're not yet that glamorous.
