One last day in Barcelona

I spent one last day in Barcelona, after the USK Symposium ended. To take a break from the frantic pace of sketching and reporting, I walked around the medieval  part of the city, Barri Gotic and sketched for a few hours. To wander the narrow, winding alleyways amongst the towers, turrets and churches is to be transported back to another time. Only a guy with a boombox blasting Gangnam Style kept me from believing I was in another age.

Then it was back across crowded La Rambla, a couple of sketches of the cops, crowds and the beautiful ironwork lampposts before I was done for the day.

What an experience it was. There are just so many people to thank, I wouldn’t know where to start. To friends I met for the first time, instructors who shared so generously, a fabulous team of organizers and to my Urban Sketcher family. Thank you. So very much.

Now for the big challenge: coming home and getting back to sketching.
