Things are falling into place

I got a proper job, with a proper salary, proper working hours, and two afternoons off a week until september to finish my Master's.
Ricardo got a proper job, with a proper salary, proper working hours, and proper career plans.

The only thing missing is good weather ;-)

Rain in BCN

Sometimes it DOES rain even in Barcelona. Which is a pity for all those tourists that decided to spend their prolonged weekend (many European countries have a holiday on Monday - pentecost) in Catalonia. But the Catalans are more than happy, because we have been on water restrictions already and summer has not started yet. So every rain drop that helps to fill the local water resources is welcome. Could have been during the week though.
Anyway, THIS is the view from our balcony when it is not sunny... (doesn't happen so often, so I thought it was worth a foto):

Tibidabo

Last weekend we did a little excursion. There is this gorgeous church upon the hill behind our house (well, some 5 km away). During the night it basically glows in the dark, and we've been wondering how it looks like in reality ever since we moved here. So last weekend we finally made the journey. And THIS is how it looks like:
We were almost a little disappointed. It certainly looks better at night. Plus there is a huge fun park in front of the church which kind of spoils both the church atmosphere and the view on Barcelona. But well, if you have children up to the age of 12 aproximately then this could be a good choice to spend some time. And here is the view if you try to take the photo just cutting away the fun park (you can still see the last loop of the rollercoaster).

What we actually enjoyed much more was walking in the park afterwards and the tram. It is called "tramvia blau" in Catalan which means.... yes, you are right "blue tram". I honestly don't know how the word blau ended up in Catalonia, but it's one vocabulary less for me to learn ;-) Oh, and blau for female is blava. Just in case you wondered, hehe . I
