Tarragona

Our place is very charming.  We are staying right across from the cathedral, whichs means it’s close to the action.  We have been getting used to the Spanish timetable of resting in the afternoon and eating at 9 at night.  As a rookie, I have gotten into a bit of trouble when I start sipping sweet Sangria on an empty stomach at 9:30pm.  Now I take a few bites of food prior to drinking the sweet nectar.

My rookie campaign.

We increasingly find that timing is an integral part of the highs and lows of travel.  Last night we happened upon a group of performers creating a human tower.  We had seen a sculpture of this on the main Boulevard and it was quite thrilling to watch it happen from a crowd.  They did about 5 different towers, and it was quite a well organized process.  Each one required coaching and specific placing of key people.  There was a section of the group that played music while they climbed. It was one of those things that we could have easily missed had we arrived five minutes later.

Tomorrow we head to the Montserrat area for some hiking and Sangria!
