Day one: first thing first; reassemble the longboard.
Curses to IKEA and its ubiquitous LACK table! Did I expect Spanish antiques in a rental apartment? Well, a girl's gotta dream.
French doors/bedroom/Catalan tile/first evening taking pictures of everything mode.
Surveying the land: looking right and left from the apartment balcony. In the Eixample District just off Passeig Saint Joan. Quite a bit like Paris.

ReplyDeleteJulia-for real! But I loved it...the fact that you can nurse a glass of wine at a premium sidewalk table for three hours, and no one ever makes you feel like you should buy more or leave quickly!
