It was about 5 hours from Valencia to Barcelona by train. And we arrived at a station in Barcelona where we are not sure about. I didn't have any map or anything. Just J was only key person who know where we are going to stay. I and T was quite irresponsible. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel at 23:00. Now our member becomes 5 here for today and tomorrow. Their names were ASK, and Noel. Noel, good name isn't it.
We woke up early in the morning. Had much food in the market like spanish omelet, and other tapas. After that, Gaudi, Gaudi, Gaudi. I remember so. It was first time to see Gaudi's work and his casa. In front of Casa Mila, I found one of Toyo Ito's recent work, which wasn't as interesting as Gaudi. I just glanced at it just for a minute or less. I was enough. Casa Mila was more interesting. As I expected looking at Gaudi for such a long time consumes my energy a lot. Well I need to cool down…. Let's go to Mediterranean Sea.
ヴァレンシアから電車に揺られる事５時間。バルセロナのとある駅に着いた。地図も何ももってないから一体何処に到着したかもわからない。J君任せという無責任さ。ホステルに到着したのは２３時。ここで旅のメンバーが２人増えた。１人はJの友達ASKさん、以前お会いした事がある。そして変わった名前のN君、いやだそうNOEL君（日本人）。このメンバーで明日、明後日は過ごすのであった。
３日目ハヤバヤと起床。マーケットでスペインオムレツや新鮮なフルーツなど、朝からこれでもかというくらい美味な物々を喰らった。その後何をしたか、ううむガウディガウディガウディ、だったはずだ。カサ・ミラ、カサ・バトリョ、カサ・グエル、初めて見るガウディのカサ。あ、ここにあったのかと目の前にあった伊東豊雄さんの建築を発見。その目の前にあるカサ・ミラ。ガウディを沢山見ると案の定疲れたのであった。カンカンデリの太陽で体は火照っていたので、これはもう地中海でスイミングだ。
