VALERIA SUSANINA BARCELONA
[Guest-posted by Jack Womack:]
Lovely city.
Lovely wife.
A perfect trip.
By and large.
Later today I'll have my first blog entry up at my new venue Orbit Books, exploring the wonderful world of science fiction and etcetera.
And, back to Barcelona at the first opportunity.
For now, it's been a pleasure and as always, gracious thanks to Mr. G.[image error]

"GAUDI IS KITSCH" PROCLAIMED THE CZECH TOUR GUIDE
[Guest-posted by Jack Womack:]
When we were outside Prague in 2007, visiting the little town of Kutna Hora.
We demurred.
Work on Sagrada Familia has continued during the near-ninety years since Gaudi stepped into the path of a streetcar, and is planned to continue for many more years to come.
Unfortunately.

NO, NEW YORK CITY DOESN'T HAVE IT ALL, NOT EVEN CLOSE
[Guest-blogged by Jack Womack:]
Athletically-inspired fashion tends not to catch my eye, but now these are sneakers.
Note that of course a gentleman's socks should always match his oriental carpets.
The shoes I found at a delightful design and clothing store named Suspect, in the Passatge del credit, in the Barrio. I also much liked their coathangers.
The store that stood out most for me, however, was Caelum, which sells only products produced by monasteries: fine sheep's cheeses, tonics to alleviat
