| About midway down the Rambla, we ran into the Liceau, the Barcelona Opera |
 |
| Where they just happened to have been doing Tristan und Isolde this week; the only tickets remaining were 192 and 138 euros; so I decided to pass; a visit to their book and CD/DVD store, the best opera store I have ever seen, convinced me I could own all the Wagner DVDs I'd ever want for 192 euros! |

| The Rambla is lined with mimes of every description; here's one talking to a "friend" |
\
 |
| The Barcelona Columbus monument; after the first voyage, he arrived back here to greet Ferdinand and Isabella |
 |
| "That-a-way" he seems to be saying |
 |
| The maritime museum, built from the medieval ship-building structures |
We finished up with an exceptionally mediocre tapas and a paella dinner. Paella, in my estimation, is one of those once-in-a-lifetime things.
