Airbus museum

Nice museum, but I suspect it was just a holding area for us while our passports were checked against a database. We had to turn them in for the duration of the museum visit before being givenもっと詳しく
旅行者
Me and my roommate Dan. He's a turbine engineer at Honeywell so he might even have been more interested in this stuff than me. Many of his company's products are in the A380 that we're going to see.
Tell Airbus that the entertainment systems on their USAirways/American A330s suck. The user interface is abysmal, the screen rarely registers a touch, and it's not fair that ours didn't work but the guys' across the aisle did. Wah, first world problems. Pal

Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon
2015年6月6日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
The immense castle & town of Carcassonne. A little touristy but the castle and town inside the old city walls were cool. Huge- our guide said the city walls were 5 km long with over 50 towers.

Montserrat
2015年6月8日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Train ride out of town to visit the cliffside abbey, cave of St. Mary, and the Black Madonna. The cable car was built in 1930...but it was the Germans, so we could trust it.
Barcelona bus tour

Camp Nou

Home of FC Barcelona and Messi. Some consider it the second-most famous cathedral in the city. It was awesome standing in the tunnel and then coming out on the pitch like the players do.
Casa Batlló
2015年6月9日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
One of Gaudi's masterpieces, designed in 1904, it was a renovation of an existing residence. It was hard to get good pictures but it was really nice- a very clever structural design and layout, evenもっと詳しく

La Rambla to the beach
2015年6月10日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
A nice walk down from the hotel to the beach, via the famous (infamous?) La Rambla. The beach was packed and the sand was rough and funky. Someone said it was all brought over from the African coast;もっと詳しく

This was a company visit for a "luxury outlet shopping" operator. They have multiple villages around Europe and now in China. It looked like a fancy outdoor mall but it was all outlet. It's apparentlyもっと詳しく

Look it up...and if you're ever in Barcelona, find Cafe Alfonso. You won't regret it.
Final exam
2015年6月12日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
I haven't handwritten that much in a long time. Apparently the norm over here is still basically the blue book, which I think is actually better at testing whether you can get your thoughts togetherもっと詳しく

It's no surprise the Spanish are good at it. Here's the rooftop playground of a school that I can see from our hotel roof.
