After our long exhausting trip, we slept until after two in the afternoon and had to force ourselves to finally get out of bed and go out for a walk in the Gothic Quarter.
The Gothic Quarter is the old town of Barcelona, full of narrow cobblestone streets and older high-rise buildings, where Picasso once lived and worked from 1895 to 1904
兰布拉大道，巴萨罗那著名的旗舰大道，是游客打卡的必经地。街道两旁有很多格式商铺。La Rambla, the famous flagship avenue in Barcelona, is a must for tourists to check out. There are a variety of tourist shops on both sides of the street.一个叫“一次”的连锁彩票店 Many of these lottery shops called “Once” are dotted around兰布拉大道两侧的饭店 Tourist restaurants on both sides of Las Rambla – we will avoid.哥特区的小巷 A typical Alley in the Gothic Quarter居民楼上很有意思的装饰 Interesting decorations on apartments墙上的画是出自一个叫“看得见的”-“打破偏见的城市艺术作品”。这个艺术项目一共有13个作品，用来提高大家对无家可归人群的关注。这幅画里的主人公叫 Jaume Mengual 和他的小狗 Laika。社区工作者帮他们找打了一个暂时的居住处。 This is part of the #Visables urban arts project highlighting various homeless people这里的店铺都特别有特色和设计感 Many of the shops here have a design sense to attract customers.一个服装店 A clothing store位于松树广场的松树圣母圣殿（Santa Maria del Pi， 一座14世纪的罗马天主教哥特式教堂，供奉松树圣母，兴建于1319年到1391年，加泰罗尼亚哥特式风格。Santa Maria del Pi, a 14th-century Roman Catholic Gothic church dedicated to Our Lady of the Pines, was built between 1319 and 1391 in the Catalan Gothic style.典型的哥特区的建筑和小巷 Typical Gothic Quarter buildings and alleys我俩的在一个爱尔兰酒吧的第一杯啤酒 Our first beer at an Irish pub巴塞罗那皇家广场，广场四周都是餐厅和酒吧，平时是热闹非凡，可惜现在在下雨 Barcelona’s Plaça Reial (Royal Plaza), surrounded by restaurants and bars, is usually very lively but unfortunately today it is raining皇家广场中心的美丽三女神喷泉雕像 The Fountain of the Three Graces statue in the center of Royal Square皇家广场里的一个餐厅 A restaurant in the Royal Square我俩的第二杯啤酒和两个西班牙tapas，土豆和炸小鱿鱼 A few tapas as a snack, potatoes and baby calamari新旧时代的对比 The old and the new晚上9点多找了一家tapas饭店吃晚饭 We found a tapas restaurant outside of the busy area for a late dinner at 9pm西红柿芝士沙拉 Tomato Cheese Salad炸洋薊 fried artichokes香肠 sausage薯条鸡蛋和西班牙熏肉 Fries, Eggs and Spanish Bacon美食配红酒 Food “pairing” with house wine这个看起来平凡不堪的小酒吧，其实海明威和毕加索曾经是这里的常客，本来打算在里面喝一杯，可惜里面没什么人，我俩就没进去。This seemingly ordinary little bar, in fact was a bar that Hemingway and Picasso would visit. We originally planned to have a drink here, but unfortunately it looked boring, so we left.
吃完晚饭，又在周围逛了一会儿，到了晚上12点了，回酒店休息，希望能睡个好觉，时差尽快倒好😊 期待明天阳光明媚。 After dinner, and wandering around for a while, wide awake, we finally went back to the hotel at midnight to sleep. We hope to have a good sleep and recover from our jet lag. Looking forward to a day of sunshine in Barcelona. 😊

Hopefully you got some sunshine in Barcelona. Fortunately you will be back in a month. I see you are in Nice today. I’m sure it’s wonderful to just be out and exploring in a new country!
看到了巴塞罗那的建筑，还有墙上的绘画，门店的装饰，挺好看，挺有特色的。
特别喜欢你俩第二杯啤酒的照片，有鸽子点缀，动静结合，很有意境，就像身在一个电影画面里一样。
美食我也眼馋😋我没吃过啥。
建议你俩去买张彩票玩。
继续期待下一集。
