Barcelona, Spain: Sukaldari Restaurant

 Near the Mercat La Bouqueria was a restaurant called Sukaldari restaurant. It was in our guide book, but our guide book was not lying when they said this restaurant was really good with nice waiters. Our waiter was willing to make recommendations for us and the service was pretty fast.

Of course, since I was in Spain I had to drink at least one glass of Sangria!

 There was a bar where couples liked to sit. We would have except it was full.

 Tapas! We really enjoyed the tapas and being able to go to the bar and look at the different dishes was fun.

This was our main dish of fish in a tomato sauce. It was good, but I have to say when you are drinking it is more interesting to have a variety of dishes instead of one main dish.

 The salad was very simple. Again.....the tapas!

Cherry Blossoms at Night

The cherry blossoms this year were beautiful, as always. I unfortunately didn't have a chance to go and see them, but outside my apartment is a cherry blossom tree! It is beautiful during the day, but also at night! Many people enjoy seeing the cherry blossom trees lit up at night. If the rain this past week didn't ruin the blossoms I hope you will take the time to go see them at night, before they are gone for the year. Otherwise, you can always try next year!

今年もさくらがきれでした！ひるまのはなみはきれですけどよるのはなみもいいですね！今年はなみにいけれませんでしたけど、私のアパートのそとに一つのすくらのきがあります。ひるまの間はものすごくきれですがよるもいいですね！今年は雨がちょっとふるましたけど今度の週末が今年のさいごのチャンスかもしれません。お早めに見にいってください！

Seafood, Fruits and Veggies at Mercat La Boqueria

 It seems there is a bit of a touching problem in the seafood section of La Boqueria.

 Shrimp anyone? No? How about a claw?

 Beautiful colors at vegetable and fruit stands!

フルツと野菜のいろがとてもきれいでした！

 The way they lined up their produce was beautiful as well!

ならびかたもきれいでした。

 A very happy and friendly shop keeper, the best person to buy from!

 Mushrooms

Wow, I have no idea how to cut open a melon in this fashion. This takes skill!

Mercat La Boqueria on La Rambla in Barcelona

We ate this chocolate filled churro at a shop very close to Sagrada Familia. It was a tiny little shop, but they made really delicious churros and a great cup of coffee!

このチュロスはサグラダファミリアのそばのおみせで食べました。ものすごくおいしかったです！チョコクリムが中にはいっててコーヒーとあいました！また食べたいです。

This building with umbrellas on the side was on La Rambla. One of the most famous streets in Barcelona. There are many shops and cafes on this street. You can also find the famous Mercat La Boqueria here as well.

このビルはLa Ramblaとゆうみちにありました。この道はバセロナで一番ゆうめいです。いろんなおみせとかカフェがあります。あとMercat　La Boqueriaのマーケトがあります。

Japanese Antiques at Toyota Automobile Museum

 I was surprised at the collection of antiques at the Toyota Automobile Museum. It was really interesting to see the different designs of TV`s, refrigerators,chairs, bicycles, etc. It must have taken a long time to gather all of these items to this one place. I was amazed at how many of the TV`s were actually working!

ふるいものがこんなにあるとおもわなかったでう。びっくりしました！そしたここにあるものはていねになおされていました。ものすごくだいじにつかわれています。

 Can`t forget how all this was possible. It started with one man and will continue for who knows how long.

これせんぶは一人の男の人がはじめました。何年間もつずていてそしてまだまだつずくでしょ。
