bye bye Barcelona


A wave of tears has flooded my keyboard, rendering me incapable of typing for the moment. Here, however, is a pic that captures a real slice of the city for me. The dialogue sign says: "Got your phone? Your wallet? YOUR TRASH?" Similar signs in multiple languages pop up along the city beach. A small touch, but indicative of the attitude here: trash on the sand is definitely a problem, but how can we address it in a "cool" way that might earn respect and compliance, rather than sticking a generic "No Littering" sign to be ignored? 
Ah, Barcelona, how I will miss your slightly-trash-strewn shores!

Hola "Zoltero".
I wonder if you still use this blogger as a means of communication???

Any who -- I "googled" you the other day...some funny things came up and I am sure that you would like to know what they are. Give me a "ring" or shoot me an email, por favor.
Gracias

Your favorite niece (I hope),
