Arrived Sants Estacio after 6 AM, lugged all our baggage a couple of blocks to the taxi rank, home by 6:50. Apartment is fine.




To gym with Dora, did 4x10 on a bike. I struggled to keep up a good pace. Dora was falling asleep.

In evening, to farmacia with Dora for a huge load of medicines. Then she picked up dog from friend that was minding him, and we brought dog from old apartment to new apartment to stay with us.

Took the dog for a late-night walk.

Walked the dog. Later took metro to MNAC art museum and met Dora and her friend there. We spent 1.5 hours or so there, then the friend had to go meet someone else. Pics.

Dora and I had lunch in Arenas, then home via metro and bus. Dog ecstatic to see us, and I took him for a walk.

Tonight is the night of the Three-Kings parades. So at 7:30 or so while we're watching the main city parade on TV, a crowd is forming for a local version of the parade, right in the street in front of our apartment, we can watch it from our balcony windows. That was fun. And the local parade was surprisingly big, with bands, floats, lots of groups in costume, etc, and the traditional throwing candy to the crowd.
