[ Emma posing on Las Ramblas ]

Emma stops to pose for a photo near the waterfront, with the Columbus monument in the background.


[ Big door, little door ]

Imaginarium is a chain of children's book/toy stores, and here Emma seems to be considering which door to use. In a mall setting, the gimmick isn't too surprising, but seeing the same setup at the front of one of their stores in Paris was a little jarring.


[ Michael Jackson impersonator ]

Apparently Michael Jackson is still popular in Spain, judging by the crowd gathered for the impersonator. Either that, or this is the only gig Michael Jackson can get these days.


[ Pointing at the Chinese salad ]

I admit this is not the best composition among the many photos I took, but I was trying to be discreet as I got a shot of Emma expressing her dismay at finding ham in a "Chinese salad" of all places. Enough with the ham already!

This might be a good time to acknowledge that yes, we were in a Chinese restaurant in Spain, but let's be honest: there is only so much Spanish food you can take in a row if you're a fan of either mixing meats with vegetables or of eating anything spicy. This Chinese restaurant was run by Chinese people and was full of Chinese clientele, and other than the ham-in-the-salad incident, we were quite pleased.
