forget flying cars ... I'm willing to settle for a future that gives you a reset button on jet lag.

nice pics on Guell Park and the Sagrada Familia, but it's worth recalling that Gaudi didn't live that far in the past. If anything, I'd like to think that the world hasn't quite outgrown that vision, yet.

Your last day in Spain reminds me of silentq's and my last day in Japan, which basically involved a 3 hour train ride from Kyoto to Tokyo, switching to another train to Narita, long ass flight LA then Boston, and one hour on the T, exchanging wits with kids from Dorchester out on a Saturday night.

Have a good rest of your trip!
