Fishbowl G&T's

It's been a long day. ~23 hours of travel but we are finally here in Barcelona at Hotel Barcelona or as its more commonly called, the AC Hotel. A cosmopolitan by the sea with LOTS of young people; some rollerblading, many congregating, smoking outside of the eclectic buildings. We would feel out of place were it not for the travel numbness that comes from lack of sleep for more than 30 hrs. Gary and I tossed our bags haphazardly about the incredibly modern bedroom given us- the sounds of Dick Van Dyke theme song racing in our heads. If we lay too long collapsing on our bed we realize that Bert and Karen may lose us. We force ourselves back to our feet and buzzing withe the hum - almost dizziness from lack of sleep we finally find our way to the bar. It's on the first floor which is actually the second floor in Americano lingo. Gary bails-up to the bar to ask for a couple of gin and tonics... And this is what we receive: two fishbowls on stems filled with G&T's. not sure if we' ll make it to a tapas restaurant tonight!

  3. Did you see the size of those things!! Not kidding- I thought the bar tender had gotten this all wrong until I saw the size of Bert's long-island ice tea!! Wish we were staying here again tonight!! Even with the AC blowing hot air!!
