I've don't posted mines, with my scanner (Epson 3170) I don't like at all the quality I obtain from slides.

The main picture is of the reason I like to go to Spain so much. The people are more open and friendly than in any other place I visit. These two ladies ran a bakery close to our hotel. Every morning I would go there and buy some morning pastries for my family, since I did not feel like wasting 10 Euro per person on breakfast at the hotel. A side benefit was that they were very friendly, interested in the Spanish-speaking visitor from Holland (they don't get many tourists in that part of town), always ready with advice what to see etc. And on the morning of our last full day the posed for me: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36.jpg Another higlight of the trip was of course the day in Perpignan. I had never been there before. The town is a typical lovely French place, somewhat touristy but not overly so. Here is a view of the street life: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt1.jpg Even though I had planned to see many Visa pour l'Image exhibits, I ended up spending more time just sitting at outdoor cafes and taking in the atmosphere. Here is our friendly waitress in one of them: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt2.jpg A Perpignan little woman with her cellphone: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt3.jpg Then back to Barcelona. On the last Sunday morning I went for an early walk in the centre. At 7-8 a.m. most of the people I saw were "leftovers" from Saturday night's partying, including this group: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt4.jpg Later that day, at lunchtime, my daughter poses with a creature of the sea which she is about to devour. She loves all kinds of snails, moules, squids and other things that other children shy away from: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt5.jpg Our last evening in Barcelona we went out for a late dinner downtown, and around midnight we spotted this group of girls. I recommended to my son (he is 16) that this is the kind of girl he should look for: good-looking, and with own transportation, apparently: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt6.jpg All good things come to an end, and we had get up VERY early Monday morning to catch our flight. My children caught up on their sleep while waiting to board our flight home to Amsterdam at Barcelona airport: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_36alt7.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2005.html and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
