Barcelona

Image by minniemouseaunt
If I am to have my pictures in any kind of order I best start at the beginning. Starting at the beginning makes things simpler to understand for my kids and for you my Flickr friends.
We flew into Barcelona and spent two extra days viewing the city prior boarding our cruiseship Celebrity Summit. Unfortunately I have lost some of the info that I had wanted to go along with the photos. This particular photo appealed to me as it was so colourful and different than what see and know here in my part of Alberta.
To you who decide to follow along with me as I slowly and agonizingly organize my photos thank you for visiting my photo site.
