Hi Jeffrey,
I was in Barcelona last week and had a real awakening to Spain. I'd been there maybe 10 times before for work but hadn't been there in about five years.
I was working with a couple dozen locals, mostly women and had just been out to dinner with a couple on the Ramblas above Catalunya (Ciudad Condal, Cachitos... amazing food) and was just sitting on a bench with them after when it all hit me like a truck at 100mph. Just how beautiful this place is and these people are. Not the architecture or design, just how real the people are and their great outlook on life.Back in the snow again but wishing I could have stayed. Have to figure out a way to winter there.
Cheers, hope life is being good to you.

Hi Vic (your real name?), sorry, since this was on my profile I saw it then "lost" it, did not mean to ignore you.
Also was thinking when I saw it you were going to berate me for being a bit of leer on one of my posts on the Women's U-20. That business of me being fond of Nahikari.
If you are back pls be in touch, I have met a few Vs here over the years, a few I knew from the old Southside at Swangard, like mmaster, others from the board and nothing more. I live in Poble Sec below Montjüíc. Could I ask what you work in?
As for Barcelona and beauty: I just wrote my monthly column for a mag here on the end of beauty in Barcelona, on it being in a post-beauty phase. I am sure few will agree with me, most of my columns are provocations anyways, the series is called Shibboleths, some are here: http://bcnmes.com/author/jeffrey-swartz/
There's one there on Barça, I am a club member but not too happy about how the club is run.
Take care
Jeff
