Hello from Marrakech, Morocco! So far things are going well. Our flight out here went smoothly except we had one scare. We flew British Airways and didn't check in online. When we checked in we found out there weren't any seats next to each other. Fortunately when we boarded the plane our seats had changed so we were seated next to each other for the 10hr flight to London. Whew! If you fly BA always check-in online.
Since I've been to Barcelona before I was able to easily navigate the city and act as a tour guide for Lee-Anne. Hear main reason for coming to Barcelona was to see Gaudi's work first-hand. Our morning consisted of a stroll through Las Ramblas, the Barri Gotic, and an old cathedral (Esglesia de Santa Maria del Pi) during which she would softly say "Goudi, Goudi".
Knowing all along I'd take her to some of Goudi's work we strolled down the Pg de Gracia to see two of Goudi's buildings: Casa Batllo and La Pedrera. On my first trip to Spain I only saw the exterior of these buildings. This time with Lee-Anne we took a tour of both interiors. Doing so showed me the true genius of Goudi. His Casa Batllo was the most amazing house I've ever seen. The house is an organic, underwater themed masterpiece where everything swirls and there are no straight lines.
Of course we had to fuel ourselves with tapas, wine, and sangria during our short stay before leaving on a 2 hour red-eye to Marrakech. Sadly when we left both of had several itchy bumps from bed bugs and mosquitos. Last time I was in Barcelona I was bitten by bed bugs. Can't they keep the beds clean in that City!
Adios!
Russ and Lee-Anne

All bedbugs mate via a process termed "traumatic insemination." (Well, geee that sounds like fun!)
Instead of inserting their genitalia into the female's reproductive tract as is typical in copulation, males instead pierce females with hypodermic genitalia and ejaculate into the body cavity.
(O_O)
This form of mating is thought to have evolved as a way for males to overcome female mating resistance.
(I think humans just learned how to make alcohol.)
The more you know! :rainbow:
