We all went to a diner called Bernie's (in honor of their dog named Bernie and Bernie Sanders) For the second day in a row we were treated to a good, old American breakfast. Pancakes used to be a nearly daily breakfast for the kids and we have had them maybe twice since arriving in Berlin 5+ months ago. The kids were in HEAVEN.
After breakfast the birthday girl wanted to go to the Pablo Picasso Museum so Josie joined the Neves family. Marty and Benjamin wanted to take an early siesta and on the way home decided to get a Spanish haircut. Benjamin's hair was so long and Marty decided since it was only 5 Euro he'd get his hair cleaned up as well and was treated to a straight razor shave.
I wanted to walk around and see the other Gaudi architecture around Barcelona. I think Gaudi's stuff is such an interesting mix of whimsical and gothic. So cool.
We met up later in the afternoon for lunch at a cool beach side restaurant. It was bright and sunny but not all that warm. It reminded us a bit of Alki. There were these two incredible bubble guys making bubbles with handmade bubble sticks made from strings and sticks. Benjamin has always loved bubbles.

The streets around Barceloneta reminded me a bit of Cuba and Mexico mixed together
After another daily siesta we all had a festive dinner at Sensi Tapas - again right around the corner from our hotel - for Elliott's birthday. SO SO yummy. Thanks Neves for the dinner and for letting join in on the celebration!!
Then to ice cream again for dessert. Good thing we don't live here.. between the sleeping in, the daily siestas and after dinner ice cream we would be in a world of hurt. But for vacation it was perfect.
We topped off the night with a visit to the Blanki store... a very strange mix of mostly crap. We equated it to a 1980's Spencer's store. Benjamin was, of course, mostly interested in the poop pillows.
