We headed south from the Pyrenees after visiting in Andorra. The first day we stopped at a camp and paid for a night without riding through. It was so empty and sketchy that we bailed and took the loss. Hard but probably smart. Preceded on to Salou on the coast and were the only campers in the tent area. Ellie stayed in the car. I slept in the tent with 'knife in my teeth'.

Th next day we returned to Sitges and had a nice evening with Charlyn's friend Jedd who lives there. Basque tapas. Wish I had a picture... it was quite a bar full. We walked back along the beach. Quite a beautiful place.

The next day we grabbed a bus into Barcelona, walked the Ramblas and climbed Montjuic to the Miro Museum. When we returned to catch the bus back, the street in front of the stop was packed with students protesting tuition hikes and austerity. Nothing but to find the train to Sitges and a taxi to the camp. It was good to see the activism...

Today is a special Mother's Day. Chloe arrived at the airport for two weeks. Yippee!
Beautiful city, isn't it? I can't wait! June 23 and counting! Enjoy Chloe's visit. I hope we can overlap. We have changed our itinerary slightly and will be going to Sevilla for just one night on July 1, then Grenada for two nights, July 2-4, back to Madrid on July 4 to fly home on July 5.
