Making new friends

I wish every day was as nice as yesterday. We had great weather and blue skies. I went to the beach, caught some sun whilst reading cases for class, then went to the Picasso museum where the his many years in Barcelona are on disply. The progression of his artistic abilities is very interesting and inspiring. After the museum, I walked the area named El Born. I stopped in to one of the best Gothic churces in the world, Santa Maria Del Mar. Then found something I'd been searching for since we arrived, a coffee shop offering beans from around the world. Until now, I've only found beans at Starbucks and the one type available at the grocery store. I purchased some nice Kenyan coffee beans then made my way to an unexpected surprise. I encountered two very friendly chaps, merry, smiling and having an altogether great time. I think they liked me as I was offered a smoke. Take a look.
Yes, those are real. And yes, they are smoking a cigarette. But don't worry, I don't think we have to worry about lung cancer.

In a related story, Apple has released a new product in Spain only as these Spaniards are just crazy for the taste of .... well I won't ruin the surprise. http://mail.iese.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://ijam.es/ Follow the link and click down below where it says: "Hacer la visita guiada." Operators are standing by.
Other updates: Tessa is still in AZ/CA and I am still missing her. Also, my sister is coming to visit with her friend in March. We're going to spend a week here then 5 days in Paris. Ooh la la.

I heard he was extra special destructive. I commented that if we were allowed to have a party in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, not one mirror would make it to the end of the party.
