| I’m getting towards the end of my annual visit to Barcelona. This year it turned out that Reva, Nathaniel, and Abe had planned a visit to Barcelona, without even knowing that I would be here too. So we have been having a great time hanging out, and I’ve been showing them some of my favorite places. As always, I’ve also visited with some of my Catalan friends: I went to Sabadell to visit with Josep and Maria Teresa, to Manresa to see Lou and Rosa, and saw Carles Múrcia, Norbert Bilbeny, and David Camprubí here in Barcelona. The weather has been Mediterranean, which is to say perfect for walking and running in this beautiful city. And of course, I’ve been reading and speaking lots of Catalan. Last night I went to a very popular Catalan musical called Mar I Cel (Sea and Sky). It's a sort of Romeo and Juliet set on a pirate ship. It was a lot of fun, and the production was extremely impressive. This is the third time it's been put on, and some of the songs are now standards. Just a couple more days here, and then on to Israel! |
