It's Origami! It's a Museum! It's Superman!


So excited on our first day exploring the old city in Barcelona that we headed out early... say 9am or so. Who knew that the city sleeps until 11am? Las Ramblas was full of people, but not so many and the street vendors were just beginning to set up their wares. A man was painting his face and his wings were waiting patiently to join his back.

Do you notice how the pavement appears to be undulated? It is an illusion! It is actually quite flat and easy to walk on.

When it's early morning what is there to do but have coffee? We found ourselves down a tiny dead-end alley with a crowd of people waiting. The museum had yet to open. But look at the beautiful origami in the window and then, wait!, is that Superman atop the museum? I wanted to share with you my discovery as I saw it. In the window. Just as he is about to take off!
