I often draw the same picture over and over until it feels right. Usually within a day, I can’t tell what was wrong with the first one. #process

Tiki Travel Tips no. 1 (a and b)! 1a -Buy your London-Paris Eurostar tickets in advance. They are embarrassingly expensive at the last minute. It is cheaper, but less charming, to fly. Cheapest option yet is a bus/ferry to Calais/bus option. The last is almost free, but do factor in the likelihood of vomiting your way across the Channel. Many a breakfast will end as fish food on that route. (If you are young and vomiting is a normal,though regrettable, part of a Saturday morning, take the cheap seats.) 1b. If you are on Eurostar, don't miss the Marks and Sparks Simply Food just across from the check-in. There is candy in souvenir tins to buy for everyone you holiday to forget. And for yourself, grab a charming cold beverage. The second Pimm's was warm by the time I'd gotten to my hotel in Paris, but the idea of it fortified me in the endless cattle pen taxi line at Gare Du Nord. I am very certain in hindsight that the metro would have been the better option.

I went to Parc Guell to see a bit of Gaudi and I think my favorite parts of mosaic were done by his collaborator, Josep Maria Jujol. I want to look at more of his work to see if I can tease out which bits he did. The terrace benches are decorated with patterned broken tile that is really beautiful and subtle in a way that much of the other trencadis in the park isn't. The aspect of Gaudi's work I'd not known about was his engineering. The park is full of slanted columns that look decorative but are canted that way to support the load. I'd no idea, until I got up close, how practical his work was. #barcelona #modernisme #artnouveau #architectural #engineering #drawntoadventure ps.

Barcelona street style is hard to spot in the throngs of tourists. They fill the streets like a demobbed army of white people in sensible shoes. I saw the glow of this lady's hair blocks before she was close enough for me to see her gold necklace. The print dress, shoppers, and white court shoes were everything. #prints #sensible #ladylike #foodshopping #barcelona #streetstyle
