| Denise and Barrie's one week break in Barcelona coincided with the annual 10K 'race of the fireman'. Organised by the city's fire service, the race has 8,000 runners.
Barrie put his Spanish lessons to use and somehow he got them both entered for the race. Incredibly, he didn't end up booking a daytrip to the Nou Camp instead. His grasp of the language must have improved!!
Having recieved a text this morning in broken English/Spanish we think we have their times. Barrie finished in 44:27 which would probably indicate that his skill at downing a carafe of Sangria (or 10) the evening before may be far more advanced than his lingo el Espanol! Denise finished in an excellent 51:17 indicating that all of her pre- race day vino blanco was most likely quaffed by Senor Cardew El Slosho!!
The text ended with reference to heading off to find a bar. Needless to say they must be celebrating up La Ramblas as you read this. Salou!
We'll be after a report from both the Senor and Senora when they get back. Adios Amigos!!!
