We left Charlotte, NC at night	Morning in Barcelona
	Our apartment was in the Eixample District
		View from our apartment
	With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms we had plenty of space for the whole family
	We spent the day walking around the city
	Our destination at 9 pm was the "Arc de Triomf" It was built by architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair.
			We met our guide Ross for a walking tour of the "Dark Past of Barcelona"
		Every building, square and neighborhood had a dark story
		People gather here every 23 June to watch the statue move. We are one week early
		As the evening got darker, so did the stories. Here guests in a particular room of the Inn mysteriously disappeared with great regularity.
		The Inquisition supplied many of the stories. Ross demonstrated the various methods of punishment
			There was a particular method to tie a noose for an effective hanging
		We stopped for ice cream and walked back to our apartment past the Music Palace ("Palau de la Música Catalana")
