Tuesday, August 29, 2006: A New World

What's that Columbus? That way? A better world awaits?

Columbus, known as Colon by the Spaniards, points to sea gesturing to the new world. The monarchs Isabel and Ferdinand funded is voyage; he received a hero's welcome here in Barcelona. This statue is the highest monument to him in the world and you can take an elevator to top.

But Columbus, why are you pointing East? Whatever.

On to the airport, it's time to bring this journey to a close.
