I cannot believe I did something so incredible absent minded. I missed seeing my favorite building in the world! I mean how can I do that? It is so feeble minded of me. I have had dreams about the German Pavilion in Barcelona by Mies van der Rohe, nightmares even where I am touring the pavilion and somehow my camera gets wet or breaks in some manner. I am usually naked as well which adds to the horror, but I cannot believe I missed it!
I realized this while I was in that special place in between napping and alert and scared the buhjesus out of Megan when I sat bolt upright in bed, smacked my forehead and yelled "Awwww Rat Balls!" (Sorry Glenda)
As I mulled over my vacuousness and stared into my dinner (of which is a whole other story best told through photographs) Megan suggested a number of options including going back. Since I am not wiling to go backwards for one building (as much as I am DYING to see it) the best option seems to be another trip at another time. It is very unfortunate that it happened this way and I feel incomplete somehow, but I am hoping that in the future, sometime, we can all do a tour of Spain: fly into Madrid, travel to Seville, Grenada, etc...and fly out of Barcelona. Pretty Please?
In the meantime, enjoy pictures of Collioure at night and me eating a very interesting dinner!
What is with that dinner? It looks absolutely disgusting - tell me you didn't eat that fish. And, as you know, forgetting to do something in a city is also part of travel - sort of like French strikes. It's said that you should always leave a city wishing for more and leaving something undone, so... great plan! I've never been to Spain - I would love to go (Patty Daniels is a specialist for Spain.) Please let me know if you're serious.
