12 Hours In Barcelona, Marianne Rogoff Aug 2010

12 Hours In Barcelona, Marianne Rogoff

Marianne Rogoff

"The flight from Palma, Mallorca, Spain, to San Francisco, California, includes a long layover in the city of Gaudi. I land in Barcelona at 6 P.M. and will be on another plane from the same airport at dawn. I can easily “kill time” at the huge airport: shop, eat, read, sleep in uncomfortable chairs. I consider dropping some Euros on a hotel in town. But why kill time, when time is all I have? I place my luggage in a large airport locker and get on a bus to the center of the city. No plan, except to see …

My Dolly, Derek Nikitas Dec 2009

My Dolly, Derek Nikitas

Derek Nikitas
