Loved the photo of the Sagrada Famila in Barcelona. My wife and I were there last summer on a European trip. Beautiful old church and still under construction. No open space around the church now. I will remember Barcelona as the place I got my cell phone stolen. Despite all the warnings about pick-pockets and the precautions I took it was stolen on the Metro. Never felt a thing. Oh well, that's life.
Take care all and a big hello to all my old PERI friends from the 1960's to the 1980's.
