[Leica] IMG: WWII Wannabe

[Douglas Barry]

Lluis, I remember back in 1976 when I stayed in Arenys de Mar (Hostal 
Mayola) just up the road from you in Barcelona for a few weeks, it cost me 
£3 a day to live. £1 for my bed, £1 for my food, and £1 for drink :-)

That was about 360 pesetas a day at the time and was considerably cheaper 
than Ireland would have been. I was in Spain as all the banks, including the 
one I worked for at the time were closed due to a strike.

Intended to go back for the fortieth anniversary, but circumstance didn't 
allow.

Douglas
