Barcelona!

17.09 Leaving home in 7.30 at morning. Driving 3 hours (horas). In Tallinn's airport at 10.30. Check-in, quick lunch, to plane... bzzzzzz ... 15.45 - in Barcelona. Heat! +28 degrees. And we all have clothes as we left home at +2 degrees we should bury the earlier decision to get to city with train. Thanks to taxi driver with license to 4 places who takes us all 5 people with a lot of baggage into center of city. 30 minutes driving and here we are - in the middle of the historical Barcelona. Our ho(s)tel is placed at street Jaume I, 50 meters from the Plaza of Saint Jaume. The 3rd floor is 5th floor in reality when starting measuring from earth but OK. There is a TV, shower and toilet (seat is a bit broken but dontmind). Quick walk to Cathedral's plaza, dinner etc. Greatest experience was Sangria de Cava which was really good in such heat. Back to hotel, and to sleep. Realized that its not possible to sleep with open balcony door - bells at every 15 minutes, street musicians, and rolling beer-wine-whatever barrels in early morning/late night. 18.09 First thing in morning - to Aquarium. Sharks, corals, Linux penguins etc. Quick lunch, starting to search for university. Found in 30 minutes, another 5 minutes to find the room where NLC meeting takes place. Took some pictures from old university which is itself worth of visiting Barcelona. Meeting started at 15 PM as should be. Most things talked were already discussed during last year at IRC meetings. Pootle, XLIFF, QA process, etc. I'm not a big fan of first 2 ones, but I started to think, that when I'm where I am - at 10% untranslated helpcontent2 - then maybe Pootle is really a good option to give access to everyone to these parts of Help that I'm not able to translate myself. I still do not understand how to get human-readable commit logs using XLIFF format, as reading of commit logs is the mother of wisdom. Important thing I learned - it was how to pronounce word 'GNOME'. Interesting, do local Gnome translators know it? Back to hotel, learned to use Barcelona's metro, then to Sagrada Familia to see it highlighted in night. 19.09 Woke up early, to Zoo. Met my grandfather and other relatives. Then tried to swim in sea at Barceloneta. There was although no need to swim. It was enough to stay in 20-cm-water and wait for next big wave. In evening back to Sagrada Familia to see it from inside and visit the museum. Biggest experience was the hanging model made by Gaudi for structural analysis. Simple conclusion - when there is no computer, you have to build one. 20.09 In 9 AM from Plaza Catalunya straight to Montserrat monastery, afterwards to Freixenet cava industry. Was a great trip, thanks to our guide Adrian who also took a picture from me and my family! In the late evening to see Magic Fountain of Mountjuic. 21.09 Starting to pack. Then to stores to buy souvenirs, dinner, taxi, airport, 4 hours flight, at 23 PM back in Tallinn. Waiting for luggage whole hour, searching a) where I left my car b) where I left my parking ticket. In 3.00 at night back in home. Resume: There are many dogs in streets of Barcelona, but I've seen only two cats. Apparently dogs are destroyed all cats. I find it great. I have a foxterrier at home and we share some attitudes about a lot of things.
