While we were walking through the Park de la Ciutadella next to the zoo, this beast charged out and grabbed Peggy in its trunk.
These gorgeous parrots are common in Spain. They are originally escapees that have established sustaining flocks. We saw them a number of times. There were a lot of them in this park.
Rose-Ringed Parakeets are technically what they are, though much bigger than our parakeets. The rose ring is difficult to see and found only in the male.
We didn't realize that Barcelona had its own version of the Arc de Triomf. It was constructed for the 1888 Great Exhibition of Barcelona. It is the portal to the Park de la Ciutadella.
View through the Arc, away from the park.
Back to the hotel. Peg and I had left our stuff in Jim & Sherryl's room since we checked out in the morning. We made our evening flight and though we had some long layovers (including all night in the lounge chairs in Amsterdam), the trip home was not as eventful as the one over.
Vacation highlights over! It was a great trip and spending it with Jim and Sherryl made it extra-special.
Then, it was back to work.
