what´s cookin´

Close to where we live is a small market that somehow has almost EVERYTHING. Not only that, but it´s well-priced and very close. Most of what we eat comes from there. Maybe another day I´ll have photos of it, because it´s very different from American-style markets. For now, here´s a little taste (HA HA) (..) of how we´re cooking...

Butane-stove cooking!

Hm.. pancetta and garlic for a Carbonara sauce, I think

This night we had rotini with an eggplant-bell pepper sauce.

photos!

Here's an assortment of photos from the last week... please bear with me as I try to add them on this VERY slow connection! (you can click to enlarge them)

Barcelona beach wants to stay clean (and in multiple languages, too)

A wide shot of the city and the sea. It was a good day for windsurfing and sailing. Soon I hope to be out on the water in some nice sailboat...

¨The Casino Barcelona is set in one of the finest spots in the city, the Port Olímpic in Barcelona, beneath the luxury of the Hotel Arts and the golden lights of the Fish, designed by architect Frank Owen Gehry.¨

Carlos at the yacht and sailboat harbor!

just me

Two girls holding on to their ¨bicing¨ bikes. The city has a cool program that has these bikes all over town - but to rent them you have to get a year contract.

Fancy people eating fancy black ink pasta on their fancy table on Barcelona beach.
