easy connection in Paris to Barcelona. picked up my luggage, but couldn’t get out of the airport as all taxis across the city were on strike. made my way to the next terminal, finally figured out the train routes and how to buy a ticket, then was off to what i hoped was the right train stop. found my way across a couple of blocks and to the hotel, which was great. nap, then up for dinner – met a coworker and walked down Rambla de Catalunya, to Cachitos Rambla for some tapas on the boulevard. in bed early, but didn’t sleep through the night.
