This post will finally complete our cruise from Florida to Barcelona, Spain that I've been working on forever!! This humorous moment occurred on our last night at dinner in Barcelona before flying home the next day. Picture story ahead.....Bob

(1) HI.....Bob here! The date was May 2, 2016 & we left our hotel seeking a place to eat. A couple of blocks away we choose this contemporary restaurant. We were seated by a window that overlooked the patio outside. Within seconds this happened!

(2) Feeling a bit uncomfortable.....I asked for a different table! (I actually walked back to take that photo & the reaction was the same!)

(3) About the same time....this guy walks in & snaps my picture....so I snapped his! I think he thought I was going to shoot him as his hands went up! Guess I did!!!

(4) A couple of inside shots. It really didn't dawn on me till we were back home that it appears that they thought I was someone else! Sometimes people think I look like Chuck Wollery, the game show host.

(5) Since we didn't speak the same language......I'll never quite know! But I am glad I captured their warm greeting anyway!

(6) Some of the food we ate......

(7) and of course....dessert.

(8) Mine.....

(9) I couldn't resist doing this to my plate at the end. The waitress upon seeing it......was delighted & immediately took it to share with the kitchen crew as we were leaving.

(10) Adios Spain!

Bob - Barcelona is a wonderful city, has great food, and with the exception of pickpockets, filled with wonderful people. enjoyed your pictures.

That's too funny... you have a passing resemblance to Luis Enrique Martínez García... that might explain the Barca Fans reactions? LOL

Thanks ChuckMc…….for checking this series out & happy you enjoyed the pictures. Thankfully we were warned about the "pickpockets".....on a previous visit to Barcelona. An attempt was made by a guy in a suit to get my wallet/money....but I was able to control the situation which was right outside our hotel on a main blvd!! We found out later when we boarded our ship that about 6 others were not so lucky! Whew! Bob

Thanks BB4A......Glad you caught the humor in this post. I had to look up Luis....for the "passing resemblance". I'll take it as a compliment. Much appreciated, Bob

He's the BMOC right now... just accepted the Spanish national team manager position: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/world-cup-2018-luis-enrique-named-spain-coach-manager-julen-lopetegui-fernando-hierro-a8438536.html

Sounds like a good move for him, financially... rumored to be a 250 Million Euro Package for 2 years... less the Tax, of course. LOL
