The Schaffer's feedback and pics!



Last December Naomi Schaffer contacted me to give her and her family a tour. She had got my email from the Lightman, who's family I toured in June.
I spent a very nice morning with the Schaffer mostly discovering the Gaudí sites. Here is the letter I just got from her, and some pics she sent me:

Hi Marta. I finally downloaded the photos from my camera and was reliving our trip last month. I’m so glad the Lightmans gave us your name. The morning we spent with you was definitely the best part of our trip and I will pass your name along to anyone I know who is traveling to Barcelona. It is a beautiful city and we had a great visit.

Thanks.

Naomi


I'm always so happy to receive such letters! It means I'm doing my job well. : )

Two events I NEED to check out!

Ok, I'll have to announce it like this or... I might be too late!

Two things I really want to check out and... you should too, if you are in town!

Picasso and Japanese Erotic Prints, until February 14th at the Picasso Museum. Surprising insight to Picasso's private sexual inspirations. Information here.

Outdoor exhibit of Rodin's sculptures including the superfamous The Thinker. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find out how long would be along Rambla Catalunya. See the video here:

New Sagrada Familia channel in Youtube!

Hi!

And first of all, happy new year! Sorry I haven't written in a while... lots of ideas, little time!

Well today I wanted to share with you that the Sagrada Familia Church has created an official Youtube channel where they post videos of the evolution of the works as well as the many cultural activities organized in the site.

Check it out here!
