A day out and about.
A. had an away game and after dealing with the flooded garage he and D. caught a train to arrive in time to warmup. I headed off a bit later and passed many groups of kids with backpacks who seemed to be heading to the hills of Collserola.
 |
| The smallest ones were excited and definitely carrying a lot. |
 |
| A. (the yellow dot to the right) was not too busy, but parents enjoyed the action and the view. |
 |
| On campus we had seen plants from our neighborhood, including an olive tree, jacaranda tree, magnolia tree, and bulbine. None of it compared to seeing the wisteria on this house! |
 |
We didn't buy any of these fancy donuts, but A.
enjoyed his first American-style donut in months. |
 |
We finally made it to Badalona, where a few people were in the water enjoying the waves.
Maybe it is often windy here since there are three windsurfing clubs
along this beach. It was cool and breezy and I was content to stay on land. |
 |
| We saw the famous statue for the Anís del Mono, part of the industrial history of the city. |
 |
| From the train we could see the remains of the former thermal power plant. |
At the end of the adventure we made our way home through Sant Cugat. Even here there are new things to see.
I will miss the inexpensive, easy-to-use, and comprehensive public transportation. I will miss the easy access to the beach.
