Travel diary - Spain, 1999. A transcription of the diary I kept while traveling in Spain in August of 1999. Barcelona - first day. Clouds over most of Spain and Portugal. Hot and muggy in Barcelona. Found the hotel, showered and changed and went wandering through the Barri Gotic. Pedestrians rule here, with cars squeezing though as needed. Here are cell phones, and McDonald's and KFC, and even kopakelli. The moonlight express starts making its rounds - a tourist train (rubber-tired) that meanders through...

Travel diary - Spain, 1999. A transcription of the diary I kept while traveling in Spain in August of 1999. A very bad night. I only managed to cool off enough to sleep by dampening my nightgown. Got up several times to pack and repack and check the location of Saturday night's hotel, and discovered that Saturday night's hotel is really Friday night's hotel, and that I have no reservation for Saturday night.

http://ali-spain-1999.blogspot.com/1999/08/iranzu-eclipse.html
Travel diary - Spain, 1999. A transcription of the diary I kept while traveling in Spain in August of 1999. Mostly sunny and mild. The schedule was adjusted to allow for eclipse watching at noon. We gathered in the yard and gazed through special glasses, mylar filters and a welder's mask, while Margriet sang a medieval eclipse song. Wandered through the garden with a Dutch woman, telling each other the names of the vegetables. Sketched in the church during siesta. Travel diary - Spain, 2003.

Travel diary - Spain, 1999: Barcelona - Barri Gotic
http://ali-spain-1999.blogspot.com/1999/08/barcelona-barri-gotic.html
Travel diary - Spain, 1999. A transcription of the diary I kept while traveling in Spain in August of 1999. Barcelona - Barri Gotic. The old medieval quarter was built on the ruins of Roman Barcino. Bits and pieces of Barcino can still be found in the Barri - concrete Roman tombs, bits of Roman wall that have been patched over and over again through the centuries, the odd bits of architecture hiding in more "modern" buildings' basements. Most traffic here is by foot. The occasional car or moped noses...
