The ferry arrived in Barcelona and then we drove to Zaragoza, Spain.

This was the coast of Spain from the Ferry! The ferry ride was an adventure! I've never been on a boat like that and for 18hours it was a thrill. The coast of Italy looked absolutely gorgeous from the boat as the sun was setting and as we were gliding through the water the smell of the sea and the salty mist was so much fun. I've never seen the water looks so beautiful, It looked like one huge sapphire!

Jellyfish everywhere as we pulled into Barcelona . . . eek!

Italians and Spaniards are horrible drivers, just cutting in front of everyone . . . they must all have a deathwish!


We didn't stop in Barcelona, just drove through so this was all I saw from the car. :-(



This was at the Zaragoza Expo 2008.
Sand art! I've never seen such exquisite sand art. I don't even know how they did it, I mean layering is easy, but making a camel!!?!!



This was some water display sculpture. We walked one mile up the building to look down on it and then a mile back down to stare up at it. O_O

Fluvi the water drop mascot . . . looks like an alien . . . Zaragoza is really a dirty town . . . really dirty . . . this street though was fairly nice. The Basilica is all the way down.
King Ferdinand!!! This exhibit was really cute. Instead of demonstrating "our spiritual connection to water" at the Expo, the Austrian display showed a traditional dance! Cirque Du Soleil PARADE!!!! I was so thrilled. I am simply aching to see a live Cirque Du Soleil performance!


While driving to Zaragoza from Spain we crossed over the Greenwich line! The arch shows the line!

The "La Mafia" Restaurant! Full of Mafia photos with REAL Italian men! ;-) Haha, must be a coverup. Wonder what is happening out back . . .
