"Oye Vale"

Every mayor city has one and some minor smaller ones do too.  Barcelona is definitely not the exception!  This morning we got up with the intention of experiencing Barcelona in every dimension and as many levels as possible.  So we headed to Barcelona's central market called "Boqueria".  What  a multi sensory experience that was!  We saw things we had never seen before sold in the meat cases ( to sad and gory to post the pictures on this blog for fear of being reported).  We heard Spanish, Catalunyan Spanish, a Spanish we couldn't even decifer, Indian Spanish (a large population of people from India) and many other languages we could not understand.  Oh, and lets not even address smells, because that entails another category that is also pretty gross! Let's just say water is scarce for some people and bathing is a luxury :-(
Some of the best experiences come from traveling and although we did not enjoy seeing some of the things we saw, nor did we like some of the smells.  We would not trade the experience for anything.  Including our evening dinner of Tapas, Paella (again) and Sangria (non alcoholic of course :-)
  Last year it was Aloha,  the year before it was "Pura Vida", this year it is "Oye Vale" to express a myriad of things, such as:  have a nice day,  thanks, ok, hey you, of course!  Awesome!  Etc....
So to sum it all up we can say it was a "VALE" kind of day.

P.S we thought we could post pictures but we were not able to transfer from our phones . Tomorrow we travel from here to Venice Italy and we will take pictures with the blog in mind.
