I just rang them and they're fully booked until December. I was ready to drop everything and go. It would've been a once in a lifetime experience, that's for sure. Pat

Just in case you have a whim for the best!

I just watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain (a repeat) where he visited a restaurant in Spain and he appeared to have died and gone to heaven right on the spot with delight. I would wager he'd count it in his top two dining experiences ever! I bet you know about it, too. I just looked it up and it has a very long winding road to get to it and it's got seating in October. Sounds like it's made for you Engogirl. ElBulli it's called. But, on the website, it says GPS is not recommended if you are going to be driving!! Sounds like an adventure! Spain!

I was able to take that one by lying on my back, the others were taken by placing the camera on the ground and using the self timer. Donald I also like that one and the last one I've put in a day later. You're right, old European ceilings are so much more interesting to the bland mordernism that one sees in so many buildings these days. I guess it's a manifestation of higher wages. It's just too expensive to adorn buildings these days. Grasswire I'm convinced that many people just sleepwalk through life. Pat That's because I put it in a day later. I'm in Carcassonne, France now. Just one day before Spain! Ross You're the quickest pun in east! Thanks. Pat
