Wind!

We are not going to Tarragona today because there is a wind advisory with gusts up to 75 mph...not my idea of fun, or anyone else's. Here in Barcelona the gusts are up to 45mph-ish and it's still pretty bad. This has the feel of a tornado warning back home, because we keep hearing people screaming in the hallway (excitable girls, i'm guessing), and doors slamming, and then we went to look at the balcony area and got recruited to stand on some signs so they wouldn't blow away! So we watched some people trying to remove the very large red signs from the front of the building while we stood on others and finally moved them inside. We only moved two, and it looked like there used to be more, so I wonder where the rest went...There are scoots overturned and a stopsign completely blown over, and now our lights just flickered. All because of a windy day! Who knew? Our plans now include going to a few museums in town and napping later in the afternoon. I still wish we could be on our way to Tarragona or Montserrat, but there are plenty more Saturdays.
