Burning torches, amazing food, the waves lapping at the shore, and only twelve time zones from here.

On the other hand, I'm in Barcelona (my old home from my teenage years) tonight, my wife is with me,
and we're going to one of my favorite Catalan places in the Gothic Quarter. Could be worse. It's tourist
season already here, and the hoards are out in force, but I always manage to get a little better service
as I can speak Catalan, and the masses of tourists usually don't .
