Good Barcelona Day

I had class here, la Casa Convalescència:

This humble casa is part of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau complex, where I later wandered around, and which looks like this. 

Images are borrowed because who knew that one has to carry her camera to class? Only in Barcelona...

And then I walked right to the Sagrada Familia on my way home, because, uh, around these parts it's pretty normal to walk by modernista masterpieces on the way home? 

And then, (!) I came home and was going to put on music and clean up. But---there was music playing outside for an independista/Catalan culture gathering. I went down with a cup of ice-cream, and found the weirdest revolutionary-type event ever:

This is how the Catalans like their independence demonstrations: talk of socialism, calls for independence, pledges to combat sexism, "capitalism is the crisis!"- all with a side of traditional folk dance. 

Now that's a cause I can get down with.
