I Know

I know I get fascinated by, potentially, the most mundane things. However, Barcelona is a very clean city and I see these plastic bins everywhere. They really don't stick out like sore thumbs, but they do seem to contribute to the overall cleanliness of the city. Pictured lastly is a guy blowing leaves. Just out of frame to the right is his street sweeper. We've seen those all day and guys/gals like this just hop out, blow leaves, pick up trash, etc.

The third picture is a picture of the sidewalk on one of the streets we took yesterday. This was a non-touristy(it's a word, just don't look it up) street. These are individual tiles and extremely heavy-duty in nature. That's something else I've noticed this time around in Barcelona: They use really high-quality materials to make everything here. For a design like this in the states, I can't help but think that we would pour the concrete and then press that bad boy into this shape.
