Visiting the Juan Miro Foundation (Barcelona, Spain) with Savvy Mom Ruth Paget




Visiting the Juan Mirò Foundation (Barcelona, Spain) with Savvy Mom Ruth Paget



Our destination for the day was the Juan Mirò Foundation at the top of the Montjuic Hill in Barcelona.

We took the bus there, which was fun.  I saw a few gates that looked like dragons on the way up to the Mirò Foundation.

In my journal, I have a photo of Mirò’s painting called Apollo de Vi.  There is a volcano in the bottom of it in the left-hand corner of the painting and a snake eyeing a fly in the painting.

There is a funny story that goes with this postcard.  A Spanish family was playing with Florence while we looked at the painting.

We were about to leave when the mom showed the painting to her daughter and us.  She made a sound like a fly, pretended to drink, and weaved around, making flying sounds to indicate a drunken fly.

We laughed and went to eat lunch at the café and set out for more adventures in Barcelona.
