Dalian, China - City Tour

We had a full day in Dalian.  The original agenda included a stop at the kindergarten for a school performance, but because we were in town on a weekend, the stop was switched to a local retirement community center. I was pleasantly surprised with the show that the center presented for us. Everyone was happy to take photos.  We also stopped at a large public gathering  plaza.  The big activity here was kite flying.  We then went to a huge Farmer’s Market and as a grand finale visited the home of a local.  She graciously provided tea and snacks, and answered questions about her life (through an interpreter).   I enjoyed the day and have a lot of photos to show of the street scenes and more details of the stops.

I'll be interested to hear about her life. Glad you're getting to interact with local people.

Barcelona, Spain - La Sagrada Familia Passion Facade

I just took the photos, many many photos, so that I would have them to look at when I returned home and could research this building.  The Passion Facade is quite a work of art so scroll through the photos and take it all in. I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
