Off to Barcelona! SFO→ JFK→BCN

Welcome to my (belatedly posted) Spanish adventures!  Unlike my trips to Basel, Switzerland and Hamburg, Germany last year, there was no work on this trip, just getting my first taste of spain with a whirlwind tour of Barcelona and Catalonia. 

Anyway, after an hour and a half of sleep, I woke up at the crack of dawn, I woke up well before the crack of dawn to take BART from Oakland to SFO, only to realize that trains are packed even at 4:45 am.  From SFO, I flew to JFK, and then onto beautiful Barcelona.
