May 2011- Perdido Key Update:

Since my last jaunt to beach, Perdido Key and the nearby communities have welcomed several new businesses. I am also very pleased to report that the beaches were pristine and the water clear – not a tarball in sight!

You don’t need to go to a museum to get your filling of art and culture in Barcelona. Amazing graffiti is everywhere and is taken to new levels. The building facades are colorfully painted and feature unusual doors and windows. Look down and the sewerage and water grates contain a decorative element. Look up and down, to your left and right, beauty is all around in Barcelona.

I am one who loves to peer into little gardens behind gates and discover a small pocket park where I can rest my feet or have a picnic. I am always on the lookout for tiny squares where locals are relaxing and talking with one another.
Barcelona’s Hidden Courtyards is a great article that identifies some great parks and courtyards to explore in the Eixample neighborhood and provides links to some other ways to explore the neighborhoods. I highly recommend that you read this article. It will inspire you to take 1wrongturn.

Sometimes the best wrong turns are not physical but virtual. I cam across the following websites that provide great suggestions places that you would find only by taking wrong turns. Check them out!

Rue Bernard in Outremont compliments of spacingmontreal.com

Everyday is an adventure in Montreal. Whether you are into museums, shopping, gardening, films, music, food, sports, there is something for you in Montreal. I have cousins who visit Montreal for 3 months to participate in the Montreal World Film Festival. They may see as many as 3 movies in a day!
