a day of art

outside museu

Thursday of last week was Lorraine and Natalie’s last day with Peggy and me in Barcelona. Lorraine would be leaving on Friday morning to get back to Arizona so she could support her husband (Peggy’s brother) in a bike race he was participating in. And Natalie was leaving the next morning with her study-abroad group for a weekend trip to Madrid.

After a quick breakfast, we visited the Picasso Museum.

I have never been a Picasso fan, but the trip to the museum may have changed my mind.

what you imagine

I still don’t fully appreciate the abstract art that he is most known for, but it was impossible to not be impressed by his immense gift and talent when I saw the art in this huge collection.

The paintings above and below were done when he was 13 years old!

I loved all of his early art.

Natalie met up with us after her morning classes. Lorraine and I wanted to visit one more museum before her departure, whereas Peggy was understandably more interested in spending some final quality time with her daughter.

After the museum, Lorraine and I met back up with mother and daughter and shopped a little before they went off to Natalie’s host mother’s home so Peggy could say goodbye.

Lorraine and I went out for one more pan of paella and a pitcher of sangria. Not bad for another rough day at the office. 🙂
