Mazel Tov -- Barcelona Style!

Matt and I partook in a couple of celebrations today in Barcelona.  After some relatively conventional sight-seeing, we strolled down the Barcelona beach.  That walk is flat-out excellent.  Towards the end of the beach lies the W -- which is perhaps the most iconic Barcelona hotel.  It is a sight in itself.

We randomly stumbled upon the wedding of our new friends, Annabel and Olivier.  Annabel and Olivier are Parisian Jews who got married today at the W.  The ceremony, conducted in French, English, and Hebrew, was moving.  The setting was out-of-this-world.  We were touched by their hospitality -- and we only felt a little like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.  Matt and I then wandered around the Barceloneta district, where we found a beer festival with some funky street-dancing, a great live band, and a bunch of artisanal craft beers.

What a day!  Between all of the Horas with Annabel and Olivier, and all the Spanish dancing, Matt and I needed an early dinner.  We luckily found a place that would take us at 10:00 p.m.  We finished dinner at midnight, and called it an early night!
