Spain, part deux


we ate at this well known restaurant in San Sebastin

Did I say the food in Spain is incredible. From the best ham I have ever tasted, pigs feed on acorns, to the wide selection of fish and seafood, of course tapas on every corner, to roasted lamb.




We had the one on the bottom from Toro.








we had breakfast in this village in the Pyrenees, not far from a Kayaking event staged during the Barcelona Olympics.




lobster traps in Getaria




those were our Monk fish and sardinas




view from our room in Getaria






typical Basque architecture




Monastery at Montserrat




Montjuic Cemetery in Barcelona

we went to the Piccaso museum in Barcelona, no cameras allowed





painted ceiling in Dali's home/museum in Figueres

Fantastic! Really beautiful photography and it sure looks like a place we want to visit. The mix of the very old and the very modern is great. Really well done!

THANK YOU

Curious Ken, do you take all your lens with you, or what do you use for your walk around lens on a trip like that?

Great pics, they make me yearn for a stroll down Las Ramblas and a night of tapas and wine in old town San Sebastian.

Wish I still had all the pics I took during my 6 weeks in Spain and Morroco


Unfortunately when I stopped at a red light in Seville a young well dressed man looked in the window on the passenger side, took a rock out of his pocket, smashed the window, grabbed the camera bag off my wife's lap and took off running. Besides to camera the bag had all my lenses and 12 rolls of undeveloped 45mm film including those from Germany and England also.
