Great Outdoors, short trip edition

Because of a late night our original pan for the day was not going to work, so we
followed the suggestion of a local and headed to the hills of Parc de Collserola.
Don't ask me how to pronounce it.  We were trying and someone on the train said it for us.
I repeated it.  D. repeated it.  A. repeated.  Excelente, she told him.

The park had a nice metal relief map (with the park being in the center of the picture), but like so many of them they like to have the waterfront looking like it is to the south, but if you look in the upper righthand corner you can see that isn't true.


We didn't get to go into this 18th-century house that was used by the poet Jacint Verdaguer and is now a museum named after him (there are several other places in Barcelona named after him).

We also did not feed the wild boars.
Or see any.

The shape of the park is all over!

We found a quiet place to sit and contemplate.

If we face the right way it looked undisturbed, but there were plenty signs of human visitors, 

some more pleasant than others.

We mostly wandered around, but did make our way

to Font Joana (if you look carefully you an see the name at the top).
Not what we planned, but still a good day!
