Brief DU intergenerational meet-up in Spain

[DFW]

My wife often joins me in March when I have a longer stay in Barcelona. This time, longtime DU member blm told me that her daughter was studying there, and she would put us in touch, in case we all had time to meet up. It turned out that on Sunday, we all did.

So, a loud Catalan "Bon dia" from my wife and me, as well as "baby blm," who isn't much of a baby any more, to DU back in the USA:

1. :)

Lovely photo! Lovely baby blm.

[DFW]

3. That she is

If blm isn't bragging, it's due to pure modesty on her part, and not because she lacks a reason.

9. Ahh that's amazing!

Do let me know if you’re in London at some point and I’ll hop a train down

[DFW]

11. I will!

Although it’s only a one hour flight, we almost never make it up there. It must be at least ten years since we’ve been.

12. That's so crazy and amazing

I can remember blm talking about her baby who was actually a baby back then and now you are meeting that baby that is now all grown up.

13. She is loving Barcelona and its respect for the arts.

I miss her, but, love knowing how happy she is there while chasing that masters degree.

Thankyou.

And….Thankyou to DU, MWO, and Bartcop.

Ava spent plenty of hours on my lap where we would ‘Guggle’ various animal photos and videos. Remember when DU linked to Smirking Chimp, and the days of MIMS - Monkey In a Man Suit? Ava’s first day of preschool, the teacher pointed out a photo of ‘the president’ and Ava loudly replied, “George Bush is a monkey, ooo…ooo…ooo.”

14. Barcelona has a gravitational pull that is disproportionate to the rest of the planet.

Once you have established an existence there, it is extremely difficult to break free of it.
