We missed out on parades, hot dogs, ice cream and the chance to wear ugly patriotic clothing yesterday. Bummed though we were, we carried on by visiting the park where Barcelona held many of the events for the 1992 olympics. About halfway through the day, we realized there was a big event going on that evening in the park. I think it was the 15th poster advertising the festivities that clued us in. See, we´re super quick on the uptake...
Our version of a 4th of July show consisted of a series of fountains that were illuminated to coincide with chessy American pop music. Mostly one hit wonders from the 1990s, although they did manage to sneak some Prince in there. It was quite a show, and there are pictures, but that will have to be another time. We also saw a tribute to rock and roll, with a band that covered everything from Little Richard to the Doors while a light show was broadcast across an entire side of the olympic stadium.

A tribute to rock and roll? Does that mean it's dead?
ReplyDeleteYou missed out on a feast at casa de la playa (I'm keeping it Spanish for you) and jello shots. And of course fog here in the Sunset. Keep on rocking it Spanish style...Have a sangria and some paella for me.
