Pati and Beebee are happy to be returning to Barcelona. They have booked a tour from the ship, called "Gaudi & Barcelona." The four hour tour includes driving past famous Gaudi architecture, walking through Gaudi's Park Guell, and an inside visit to the Sagrada Familia church. Gaudi's architecture is colorful, organic, and non-threatening.
At the end of the tour, Pati and Beebee will walk the length of Las Ramblas for shopping, eating, and people-watching. There probably won't be enough time to ride the Funicular de Montjuic and cable car up to the Museu Militar and Castell dr Montjuic, where there is a very good view of the harbor and container ships being loaded and unloaded. That is a good memory from their previous visit to Barcelona.
There will be a free shuttle bus back to the ship, but Pati and Beebee will probably just walk back for the exercise.

Passenger Profile: The Loud Cheese Woman
Pati and Beebee ate in the Lido deck self-serve cafeteria this morning. While waiting in line for oatmeal, Beebee was behind a 40-ish man who, upon reaching a tray containing 4 thin slices of an orange cheese, took every slice. A 50-/60-ish short woman ahead of him, who had already passed by the cheese, watched him intently. At the very instant that he took the last slice, she shouted, in a thick accent, "THERE IS NO MORE CHEESE! ARE YOU GOING TO GET MORE CHEESE?"
Startled, the server behind the counter hurried to pick up the empty tray, and, turning, tripped over another server. He then hurriedly retrieved another tray of cheese from somewhere, and showed it to the woman, saying "It is white cheese." She seemed to approve; he placed it where the yellow cheese had been. She promptly backed up into Beebee and started to fill her plate.
There are people that Pati and Beebee will not miss when the cruise ends.
