Barcelona day 2

IDONDE ESTA LORENZO?  Our second day in Barcelona was completely free and so we decided to explore.  We learned that when traveling in foregin areas you need to be specific about what you are looking for.  We headed off on the Metro, which is superb and so easy to use just watch you pockets and purses and ended up at what were the Olympic Village when we really wanted the Olympic stadium sites.  We finally made it there and saw the entrance to the Olympic area very impressive and now put to wonderful use as musuems, and convention centers.  We then decide we wanted to see another building by Antoni Gaudi so headed off on the metro fo Casa Mila.  We had to change from one line of the metro to another and as we were heading off we suddenly turned around and Idonde esta lorenzo? (where is Larry?)  We had lost him.  After some discussion we headed off for our original destination and since we were extremely hungry we stopped for lunch and then as we were approaching the Casa Mila there was Lorenzo – he had gotten on the wrong metro.  We did indeed see the building and then headed back to our hotel for a rest before we went to a Flamingo show.  this was fantastic there were times when the feet were moving so fast you could barely see them.  After this we had our ‘thanksgiving’ dinner paella at a sidewalk cafe.  It was a wonderful end to an adventure filled trip.  This was a superb trip with many ports of call as well as our two land stays.  I was very pleased with the Oceania Cruise, Shore Trips, and Comtours in Spain they all did a wonderful job that enhanced our trip.
