Sara and the kids went out to Carrefour early this morning for some more picnic shopping. We are going to have a frugal day after yesterday's setback. After she got back, Sara and I went to Starbucks to bring some coffees back. The staff were all dressed as zombies and witches reminiding us that it is Halloween tonight. We stayed in and around the hotel this morning reading - my knidle has been restored - and I downloaded a few free books for Sara to enjoy. This afternoon, Mary and I, after visiting the local police station to report my stoeln phone's IME number, "cranked" the eastern half of the Barcelona tram system and did a big circular tour of the routes with our free travel passes - the whole journey taking about an hour and a half and enabling me to take some pictures of the trams in different locations. Mary enjoyed the trip and has been very concerned about my health and well-being following yesterday's upset. She is a lovely person and I can quite see why she is so popular with her peers. .After a short rest, the rest of the familt joined us and we took the tram trip the opposite way round. It gave us all an opportunity to get out and get some fresh air. We are doubly cautious of our surroundings now. Tonight we took a very crowded metro train to the Magic Fountain which we find only operates on Friday and Saturday evenings - Sara and Mary will be back in England then! We returned to
Glories and sat in the open enjoying a couple of beers and cokes. Back in the hotel we chatted and read some more. I managed, with the hep of hotel staff, to book ticket for the Sagrada Familia for tomorrow morning and some open-ended tickets to visit the Barcelona FC stadium some time before we leave - probably Friday morning.
