Warm and Sunny Barcelona

Was not warm or sunny this weekend. The weather forcast said it was supposed to be in the mid to upper 50s this past weekend but rainy. It was definately rainy. The only day that the sun came out at all was on Sunday. We stayed on the top floor of the hotel and could hear the rain hitting the ceiling. John also said it stormed one night, with thunder and lightening. It didn't wake me up, though. When we got up most days, the soccer pitch by the hotel was flooded! I had only rained 0.9 inches in all of January before we got there. While we were there, I would bet that it rained a couple inches. At times it was lashing.

Barcelona was in the low/mid 30s on Saturday and minimally warmer the other days. We were so cold that John bought a warm sweater for me and a fleece vest for himself later in the day!

We did to do some nice shopping and see quite a few sights. Even with the cold and rain, it was an excellent weekend and we didn't want to leave. Now we have to go back to work and John goes back to London early tomorrow morning...
