The corner BBQ pitLast Sunday, after rambling down Las Ramblas, I took a stroll through the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. The restaurant, above, had a great set-up. The corner of the building housed a wood-fired BBQ pit that was roasting chickens. Brother Beamis would kill for this set up. Can I get an "Amen," Beamis?
From Wikipedia:
The Barri Gòtic ('Gothic Quarter' in Catalan; Castilian: Barrio Gótico) is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south. The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. Most of the quarter is closed to regular traffic although open to service vehicles and taxis.
It smelled wonderful

An Arabic flavor to the overhead walkway

No one builds a wall like the Italians!
How do you clear an Italian wedding?
Ernie,
I'm not listening to you.
Why, who builds a better wall?
No, about your Italian wedding joke. I won't encourage you.
BTW, I think the Chinese might build a better wall.
Chinese? That's like saying the Germans! Interesting though, the Chinese are always trying to steal the credit for pasta, pizza and now masonry. When will end? As Tim Hardaway might say, 'I don't like the Chinese!!!'
Nice one, Smiffs. Check out Les Quinze Nits on Plaza Reill before you split town. Be prepared to wait in a ridiculous mf line for great tapas and good wine, it's one of the best Barcelona has to offer.

how do you clear an Italian wedding?
Tell them there´s a sale at the platinum trip eyewear outlet.

Point out that the bride and groom have the same Papa
How do you clear an Italian wedding?
You yell, "The cement is here!"
Read and know the history before posting such stupid and racist remark! Still in 2008 Chinese people are the greatest inventors in history despite the lag of the past centuries!!!
By the way stop bragging about Romans Ernie. Most "Roman"-ideas were taken from Greek, Persian or Egyptian inventors. Who is the thief???
