tintin (tin) - oct 10, 2010

laying on sheets covered in Tintin here in bcn, listening to the rain and surfing the net. R is gone to a ´despedida´ for the weekend and I´m hanging with his fam solo. Today we went to the Torres winery today where we had such a fun adventure on the mini train, sampling the goods and getting a very unexpected employee discount on our take-home bottles. then we enjoyed a 3 hour lunch where we had the best calamari, duck and finished with coffees and ice cream topped with figs and brandy. After we drove into another town to buy special chocolate covered almonds and then took to walking the streets for a cava block party. pretty amazing. his mom bought me a jacket at a local boutique down the street from their house. such amazing and generous people. i´m a lucky girl.

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

i can´t believe this is real and to top it off the music is by a group called Barcelona. I love the whale shark at 3:12.
