Poble Espanyol

Today we went to Poble Espanyol...
a Spanish village built in 1929, reproducing parts of towns
from all over Spain.
The village is filled with quaint streets and...
beautiful Spanish architecture.
There were numerous art exhibits including a Picasso room
(of course, no pictures were allowed inside the museum)
There were many small shops that sold Spanish crafts made by
artisans in the stores.  There were glass blowers, weavers,
and metal workers.  Instead of buying Spanish souvenirs,
we had delicious hot chocolate.  It was really REALLY delicious.
Of course Cervantes, author of Don Quixote,
was there...
and Dave got to reenact a scene from Blazing Saddles.
However, the most exciting part of the day
(according to Tabitha) was what we saw
on the way to Poble Espanyol.
