Barcelona Beckons

I pulled the postcard out of my mailbox, stopped short and leaned against the wall to stare at the aerial view of Barcelona. My friend Deb sends me the sickest strangest postcards from all over creation and for YEARS she's been doing this. But this is a normal picture post card and it stabs me right in the heart. I WANNA GO TO BARCELONA. While backpacking through Europe a zillion years ago I fell in love with The Ramblas, the tapas, the exquisite leather boots I bought there . . on the back Deb reminds me how long ago I was there. 35 years. Returning is on my to do list. I started saving for the trip, signed up for Spanish on Live Mocha, studied Rick Steeves. I announced it on Facebook for chrissakes! Rick and I went to Mexico last summer. It was great. It was not Barcelona. I'm gonna go. It's a sign. Leave it to Deb. Thank you my friend.
