THE GIFT and a short summary of the trip

Monday April 24th

Last evening in Barcelona for this time. Isabel stopped by. It was a pleasant chat at the terrace with a superfriendly person. It was Sant Jordis day yesterday, the day when men gives the woman a rose and recieves a book, a nice tradition which bring the citizens out on the street. To my suprise Isabel had bought me a gift. A gift that was all I could wish for. The gift was perfect, a book about cycloturisme in Catalunya, with suggestions on routes and information about climbs, in Catalan. Many of the climbs and some of the routes are familiar and makes it easier to understand the catalan language. By taking some of the turns before it was easy to understand what l'esquerra and dreta means. I think I can figure out some more words without any bigger problem. The book will be a great tool and source of inspiration for my next cycling trip in Catalunya. 


Hope I'll see you again soon Isabel. Until then, the best wishes for you and your family.
