Now is more beautifully decorated, even so that exist many unchanged places, as Los Caracoles. The unfinished Cathedral (La Sagrada Familia) is still unfinished, but the works continues. In the 70's I had a Honeywell Pentax purchased at the photo store Cambridge in N.Y., here was much more expensive!. Thanks for looking and for sharing your comments Saludos cordiales Lluis El 09/04/2009, a las 6:28, rsphoto's email escribi?: > Lluis: > > Brings back memories in the mid-1960's when I was a young US Marine > Corporal on liberty in Barcelona for several days. > > It was just before Christmas and I really fell in love with the > city, the people, the mystique of the Catalan language and culture > and the great food. f)O was a recent Army Language Schoo graduate - > Farsi...).
