When you come to visit Barcelona, I know you will enjoy walking around in the Gothic Quarter that used to be surrounded by Roman built walls. #barcelona #gothicquarter #streetphotography #photography

This display of masks was set up next to a movie production scene on a street in Barcelona. Barcelona is used by many movie producers as a great place to set up various scenes for their movies. This movie must have been a horror movie. #barcelona #streetphotography #photography #horrormovies

I would love to own a store filled with guitars and amps. Playing guitar has been a passion of mine for 60 years since I got my first $16 acoustic guitar on my 12th birthday. #guitars #amps #barcelona #selfie #streetphotography #photography

The best way to enjoy a boat trip is to go fishing which I used to do from Monterey, California after I moved there in 1986. I went on an Albacore fishing trip from Bodega Bay one time where the boat took us to the deep water about 50 miles from shore. At least you get some good fish meals to eat.

I'm a poor man so I don't spend money like a tourist does but the first time I went to meet Lydie in person in Nov. of 2002, we went on one of those tourist boats that took us around the area where the cruise and cargo ships were but I can't remember much of it.

Have you ever been to LegoLand down by San Diego, California? My son and his family live close to that park and I went with them one time when I there to visit them. It's incredible. The store in Barcelona has many huge objects built with Legos that remind me of that place.

It's a pain to use Facebook but that is how I connect to my family back in the U.S. So I join FB groups to preach eternal wisdom in and share photos.

Do you belong to the Facebook group called "Doors"? I'm in that group, too.

Of course I understand that it takes a very strong desire of wanting something to stand in line for a long time. I have experienced it in the past when I needed some food while I was homeless but when knowing that food will feed 20 other homeless friends in a park I cooked for every day, I waited.

Me too. With my construction background and hanging very expensive doors and doorways for custom homes. I am fascinated knowing how much work goes into some of the doors I see in Barcelona and other villages and cities in Spain.
