What a day. The best thing about doing a house swap is doing a friend swap. Well, Theresa, the owner of our home that we are staying in, not only has beautiful modern taste but has some wonderful friends. Today we went to a local pool (small lake) just about 20 minutes from our home. A locals only place. It was fun and refreshing for the kids. Our new friends (Carmen with kids Lola and Ramon) showed us a good time while speaking their native tongue Catalin with a little mix of Spanish. The language barrier did not prevent the kids from splashing around the water together.
After lunch we parted from our friends and went down to the water (Port Vell) for some fun. Our intention was to go the the L'Aqurium. The Port was transformed for the 1992 Olympic Games and is today a glamorous shopping, dining and entertainment area at the waterfront. Across from the L'Aqurium is an activity park called Bubble Parc. With a free style bungy jump, bike track and Bubblepool my kids were extremely happy.
After finishing up the Bubble Parc we bought some ice cream and then played on the patch of green grass (hard to find grass in Barcelona) and played catch with the kids flip flops for over an hour. By 8:30 we were heading home to eat some dinner.
By this point, Zach's mishaps on Friday were a distant memory. A good night sleep was in order since Day 1 of camp was to begin the next morning. Let me clarify that bed time seems to be around mid-night. This will definitely have to change.
