No pictures this time as I couldn´t upload the pictures anyway. Well, the reason for this is that I had my rucksack stolen and with it my phones, laptop and about 160 Euros. The rest of the stuff that went: passport, documents, spare glasses, diary etc. turned up after a few hours as a public spiritied person handed them in at the nearest police station. That was some consolation that I didn´t have to spend another day in an office getting a new passport. Nearly a whole day went on the police, although I was yet again lucky that the little copper I got was very sweet, spoke good English and looked after me well. The camera is OK, but I didn´t feel like photographing ever since and this public computer has no download facilities anyway.
The weather, as usual, is tropical, although this year there is a breeze, so it is not as humid as usually. The conference I am attending is very interesting, so that takes my mind off my troubles. Needless to say I am still spending long hours answering queries re: WTOC, but then again that was to be expected.
Today is the half day when everybody goes into Barcelona to be a tourist. Well, nearly everybody as I am not going. The local thieves had about 500 Euros worth out of me already, I am not giving them another chance. As they have returned one out of the two books I had in my rucksack I am going to sit in the air conditioned Hotel lobby (where the theft occurred, by the way!!) and read Julie Walters´autbiography. The thieves are obviously fans of Adrian Mole as that was the book that didn´t turn up. Good job I have nearly finished it at the time of the theft.
I bid you all good bye and hope to be in a safer place with upload facilities the next time I post.
