Barcelona només ensuma una “nevada novata” i la ciutat comtal es colapsa, afectant la resta de Catalunya. Molta ineficàcia per tant poca neu!
Barcelona just gets a taste of what I would called a "beginner's snow storm" and the city shuts down, affecting the rest of the Catalan region. Too much incompetency for so little snow!
The future W Hotel, floor 27, in Barcelona shows a new angle of the city...Hmm! Yes, it is a different and beautiful perspective of our city, but my question is: Why this big American hotel company, or any other, is allowed to build right on the coast line??? Am I allowed to build next to it?
A lucky guy ended up being in the restricted area where only the press and the cyclist were allowed to be, right at the beginning of the stage, right behind the start line. He took some video and I founded in YouTube. A cool coincidence: I am in it, because I got lucky too. Since I was wearing a loud blue jersey, I was able to spot myself in this video right away.
To see the Tour de France in my hometown was a very exciting, and interesting experience. I had the chance o see Lance Armstrong, up close, standing next to me for a while. Lance was giving instructions to a teammate, talking to the press, signing autographs, and getting ready to start the stage. I took lots of pictures of his whole anatomy.
I went to see the beginning of stage 7 with my Barcelonian friend Ricard, and we had a good time there, and on our way there. We crossed Barcelona running to get to the beginning stage 7. It was like one of my morning work outs in Bcn. One of the main streets in Barcelona, La Gran Via, was partially cleared of cars, so Ricard and I ran through it, with no cars around, all the way to the beginning of the stage, in Avda. Maria Cristina. I didn't expect it to be so special . It was a big privilege to get to live the Tour atmosphere from the very inside, no fences, free to walk around, and see all that big group of amazing athletes all around me. Pretty unforgettable.
Lovely company, great laughs, and beautiful moments. We loved Jamón Serrano´s ritual under the full moon. Big Café (N), medium café (M), small café (R).
