October 26, 2018              Barcelona            Friday 26^th

We have really settled in.  We get up about 9-10 o’clock, check the computer to see what has happened and have a couple of cups of coffee and cereal for breakfast.  So we don’t get out of the apartment before noon, but we are on vacation.  Sometimes it is hard to know if we are on vacation because we are retired, and don’t really do anything anyway.  Speaking of coffee, we have been looking for the #4 filters for our pour-over coffee.  We have been getting by with the wrong type of filter since we arrived.  We have looked at the local stores without luck.  Starbucks has the ceramic piece that holds the filter, but not the paper filters.  So Sue located the Carrefour Hyper-market that we hope will have them.  It is 2.2 km from the apartment, so that is our mission for today.  The walk took about 45 minutes, and they did have the filters.  The store is gigantic, I think you can buy just about anything you want there.  After the walk there we took the Metro home where we rested up before going out for dinner.  Dinner was at the Barceloneta Seafood restaurant that is located right on the water, naturally.  Sue had the baked Sole and I had the Hake stew, both were very good.  On our walk home we stopped at Donne’s Irish Pub for a taste of Irish Whiskey, Tullamore Dew.  Now that is how to finish off an evening.  So not many photos today, maybe I’ll do better today.
