La Barceloneta in Winter

The first week here we rode bikes down to the beach, late one night, and ate takeout pizza on the sand. I’ve been back with visitors, but we hadn’t been back together since September. This Saturday we headed back, taking bikes from our apartment down to the far end of the Barceloneta beach. We wandered down a pier and sat for a while, watching tourists wander, small children play on their scooters, and bike tours cycle by. It was the warmest, sunniest day in weeks, and I even noticed a roller-blader with a tank top on. Tired from the week, we relaxed for a while with our eyes closed, laying back on a fish-shaped bench.

After exploring the pier, we walked along the beach towards the port. The water was cold on our feet, but the sand felt good. It was nice to walk along the shoreline, dodging pebbles and watching birds. I even convinced Juanjo to take his shoes off too!
