I got nothing

No posts for a while because we aren't doing much. Went to the beach 3 times. Was we returned (from the beach) most recently I noticed some tourists speaking French to each other asking "is the the place were are supposed to get off", etc. So old hand that I am I told them not to get off yet. Look there is the bus station, etc. I was fantastic (kidding).

Independence Day, Mar 20, was a dud. Late in the day some guys put on some banners in the main square (in Arabic). Why did they wait so long and was that the "celebration". We're told it's more exciting in the capital.

We noticed kids hanging around - playing soccer in our local dirt field, etc - so I asked. As of today they're on a 2 week holiday. They're finished exams.

We're having trouble booking a hotel in Barcelona. Many are a full. But so far we are only trying small gems. May have to change our standards. So far in the trip (it being low seasion) hotels have been nearly empty.

Might want to try 'Gotico Hotel', we stayed there last nov. It's right next to the awesome cathedral in the old quarter. http://www.gargallo-hotels.com/gotico/index.html

I found this website really good for booking hotels in Spain (often much cheaper than going to the hotel directly):

We really liked our flat in Barcelonetta. Near the beach, but maybe too pricy?
