Sunday. A day of rest. A holy day. Why not go to Barcelona and see one of the most incredible pieces of design in the world. Of course, it’s a church. I’m a long way from being there at the moment, so it’s time to pack light and go to a place that has airplanes.I love London, it’s relentless with opportunity. There are so many billboards that punking one is apparently easy.Once I arrived and got sorted I had a chance to sit down and have a read from a great guide book. Le Cool is a guide book that takes it’s cues from people who were born here, lived here, visted and have spent very little time in Barcelona. The range of perspective is huge and the pages have so much design that it is a good resource for layouts and type regardless if you ever visit this city by the ocean. A pint of Guinness, a shot of Absinthe (yep, the real thing) and some pages from Le Cool and I am now ready to get started.The area of town I am in is called the Ravel. I look forward to getting around this area tomorrow. This is the most well lit street I came across.I have been totally crossed up getting my bearings. This devil is at the Barcelona Cultural Center on the Ramblas.So after a bit of walking around, I found a crowded bar that had some live music. A cool place that was full of what seemed like university aged students. Great space and cool style to it. It was really crowded and I could not get that close to the music, but the sound filled the space. Everything was spanish vibe Salsa. I did recognize this one though. A couple of bends in the sound and then it got somewhere that I recognized. It took a bit, but Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal seeped into the sound. Everyone knows that one from back in the hey hey.

That’s it for tonight. Tomorrow’s gonna be a big day of exploration.
