A night out in Barca



So we hit up CDLC at 1030pm for dinner after some spanglish with the cabbie to get us to the restaurant. The vibe and ambience at the restaurant was great. Dinner tables and lounge chairs, couches, etc. The dimly lit room was decorated in Asian themes. We had a 3 course Asian inspired meal and all was great after a bottle of cava. Then things started to get weird. The largest lounge area, probably for 40, had about 10 Indian men all cuddled in a space
for about 5, even though the area was massive. Weird (see photo). Ok it got worse much worse than this shows. We ordered a carafe of sangria and opted for the wine not champagne version, which we thought was more authentic. After 3 glasses each of what seemed thick enough to be cough syrup we had to bail on that drink. It was worth a try but not our cup of tea. Tables had been cleared and dancing started. The vibe was good but the scene was horrible. Not sure we could have expected more for a Sunday night. If you're ever in BCN, visit CDLC at Olympic Port. I'm sure it'd be a riot. We were invited to return for the big Thurs bash but unfortunately we'll be gone. Also, our server came out after his shift in his street close and personally shook both of our hands and thanked us. Interesting. Deciding to walk off the big meal Julie destroyed one of her heals in the cobble stone streets.

  2. Wow! The photos and videos are absolutely amazing! Night life on the road in Europe is really a big hit!! I agree with Andrea, Julie your dress looks amazing on you...and Ron you look pretty "dapper yourself!" I'm glad you guys are being very adventurous and trying new and interesting things to eat and drink...even if you don't finish them! Why have something boring when you can have a carafe of sangria...sounds very authentic to me! Julie...maybe breaking your heel was a good thing...if it means you will travel in comfort for the rest of your escapades!!! Remember to take care of your feet..you need them for the rest of yor life....I guess now I am sounding too much like your mother!!! Take care and enjoy!!! Look forward to the next update!!
    Love Always,
    Mom
