Voy a Girona

Today was an overcast day, not good beach weather so we had a change of plans. At 1:00 Jordi and Diana met Joan and I in town and we drove to Girona. At first I wasn't excited about this trip because I am in Girona all the time but it ended up being a good day and I did get to see a few things I had never seen before. Joan drove to the old part of Girona and we had lunch behind an old cathedral. To save $$, or in our case €€, we brought Tupperware of food from home which was actually a good idea and not at all depressing like I thought it would be. After we walked around the old part of Girona and tried to show Diana all the cool stuff.


Pisos and Rios

In the Directors Chair

We went to the Katherine Hepburn exhibit that was free at the Museum of Cinema in Girona.

After we walked around some shops and then drove to the Wall of Girona. This dates back to the days when Girona was surrounded by a wall for protection. From there we could see the whole city.

All in all it was good a day. I found that even in a city that I think I know so well, I can still manage to discover something new. Next time I hope to discover more of Barcelona.


Joan rented Rec. A Spanish horror movie about a journalist who went to a firestation to interview fireman and learn all about what they do etc but things get weird when she goes on a call with them and then gets trapped inside a building. Our friend Jordi said it was very scary so we shall see. ....
