Day started awesome. We got up early had breakfast and then headed to the Picasso Museum. It was so great to see Picasso and his progression from realistic artist to the pieces before his death. Particularly interesting was his work "stealing" Las Meninas. It was very interesting. I've also enjoyed learning that Picasso did several studies before he painted. For some reason I thought painters sat down in front of a canvas and painted masterpieces... Not Picasso. He did 47 studies of the piece before he created his copy.
After the Picasso museum we headed to the beach (we planned ahead and wore our bathing suits to the museum.) It was a bit chilly but we toughed it out... the water was nice (but after Anna went in she discovered jelly fishes everywhere.) I then quizzed Anna about all the stuff I found on the beach. She identified a cuttlefish shell, and shells with holes possibly caused by limpets, and she also correctly identified styrofoam that washed up on the beach. Great day at the beach.
We then headed back to the hotel to shower and the plan was to take the train to the Freixenet winery. But before we left Anna tried to check into her flight and she discovered it was canceled!!! While she tried to reschedule the flight, I went to check my flight in the lobby (so far so good.) Anna rebooked two flights, one tomorrow night and one on Friday. Fingers-crossed she gets the first one. However it took a bit of time so we didn't make it to the Freixenet winery. Instead we headed out and did a cava crawl enjoying the awesome tapas at our favourite place from two nights before.
I hope the night goes well... tomorrow I leave on a flight still scheduled to take off... fingers crossed!
