The 2nd day of the MATTIA meeting

On Friday the meeting continues. Now Graham takes the lead and structures the project organisation. Briefly I do get internet access in the afternoon.

After the meeting concludes, Graham and I visit the cathedral Sagrada Familia, the well-know hallmark of Barcelona by the architect Gaudi. What a phantastic building. An imagination, cast and frozen into architecture. The cathedral is still being built, with construction cranes around it, competing for the silhouette with the towers. We do not enter, as it soon would close for the evening.

Later we meet for dinner with the whole project group. We share a mixed set of appetizers, then Graham and I have a "Dorada de la sal", a fish cooked under a pile of salt. Excellent, but significantly more expensive than the dinner the days before.
