Hallo Gil and BIBAK BARCA,

Finally back home again after accompanying Lydia and brother to Cinque Terre. Have read all the feedback and everything is said so I don’t have to repeat the same. I just say second the motion. Gil, this is your first time to host such a big affair and you did what is in your capacity doing the preparation with your group and being bombarded with e-mails and still found time to answer them besides your regular job. I know I too bothered you quite a few times. Many, many thanks! Let us know if you plan to visit Switzerland in the future.

To all who were there, it was great meeting you, am sure everybody enjoyed the visit to Montjuic and the tour to Montserrat. Sunday evening we attended a concert at the Palau de Musica. Monday morning we wanted to visit the Familia Sagrada, but the line was just too long so we gave up. We went back at 5 p.m. and we could go in. Breathtaking!!

To conclude our Barca visit, we finally found the Tapas Bar Cuidat Condal. Was great and to those who plan to go to Barcelona again, don’t miss it. We had fun with our Kababayans once more and they even gave us bigger portions of their delicious tapas.

Ciao and see you in Rome, maybe. Besides our souvenir from the consultation, I came home with an FC Barca Flag.
