A number of us will be headed to Barcelona soon. Spearmaster, Greedygirl and I have been to the casino down near the main harbor. I think I won about Euro 20 at video poker. It was a bit odd - most of the video slot machines were no-name brands, or some of the ones I've seen in Macau. I'll do a more detailed report upon my return.

That evening, Ted, Debbee and I went to Barcelona to check out the "Casino de Barcelona". It was smaller than expected with a few non-descript video slots and video poker. None of the VP machines had full payout. But to Greedy Girl's surprise, I doubled my 20 in about 5 minutes at the VP machine and cashed out. The place gave me the creeps with its low ceilings and smoky patrons. We left and grabbed some chow in the Gothic district. There they had an open air market selling antiques and artifacts - a very cool place to browse. And the Greedy Girl commenced to shop which I easily tolerated since I am very much accustomed to tagging along with the missus while she looks for shoes or other fascinating apparel. And I thought to myself, and which I elucidated later that evening "I look upwards and pray to God each and everyday and thank him for making me a man. If I were a woman, I couldn't handle the plumbing nor the shopping. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
