Television

Being the spiteful swine you no doubt are (that'll win 'em over), you will all mock my ignorance, whilst admiring my chutzpah. Probably the first anyway. Anyway, I met someone from Boston and a couple from Alaska. In my knowledge-challenged way, I pointed out that Alaska was known to me only by the TV show Northern Exposure, while Boston was far more familiar owing to the various David E Kelly shows set there. You see, I just don't know a dman thing about these places. Fortunately the Alaskans took it in the right spirit (noting that while the show was technically correct with moose roaming the streets, the one showed was actually an elk - far smaller).
The Bostonian was similarly amused, possibly because she was from California originally, so TV and first impressions are very important.

"Get on with it" you cry. Okily dokily...
I went to the Gothic quarter today. Goes back to Roman times, and there's plenty of stuff filling in the gaps between then and now
A broken aqueduct...


Yay! A fountain in a cute courtyard




Another fine fountain. Loved the colours here.

An extraordinary cloister. With geese!


I've got a rapidly growing collection of images of gargoyles, but you'll have to wait until either 1) I get bored or 2) I get to show you. Either way, do try to control your impatience ;-)

Look carefully, and you'll see the original Roman columns under the cathedral

Cathedral square

And outside:



I tried to capture the colours of this Gaudi roof. Can't do it justice...


I thought this was a lovely view of La Sagreda Familia, with the streetlight in the foreground

What's that? Sacrilege you say? Like I care. "This one goes out to all you Phoenix fans out there". Poor guy asked what team it was. Telling him didn't help, happily :-).
