My husband and I will be heading back to France today, but southern France and by car. I'm glad.

We highly enjoyed our visit to a Joan Miro art museum yesterday. I adore Miro's art. Plus, the views of Barcelona from the high hill location were lovely. There were also pleasant parks there with palm trees that had huge nests full of Quaker parrots. Afterwards, we ate a nice lunch at a lovely restaurant nearby.

@fern46, I have actually thought of you a few times during my trip. Something I noticed a lot of in both France and Spain were ferns. In Paris, there was a scooter taxi (almost like a motorized rickshaw) that had mini ferns on the foot platform. Many shops, windows, and gardens had ferns. I wish I had photographed the scooter, but I didn't. Attached is a glimpse of Barcelona from the hill at the Joan Miro museum.
