Well, dear readers, sad to say I had to take this morning off to recuperate from a vicious bout of food poisoning!! I managed to still make it out this afternoon to the Mercat Boqueria, the city’s (and possibly the world’s) most incredible food market…
where these fruit juices may have just saved my life…
and fishes stare at you with imploring eyes…
where chocolate hedgehogs sit next to chocolate boobs…
and prawns crowd each other, waiting to be plucked and eaten…
There are sea urchins…
and razor clams…
a variety of teeming crustaceans…
salted cod…
and rabbits that have seen better days.
No matter how sick you are, you must try the local ham (we ate from the centered one in the very first photo)…
and who can resist such vibrant candy?
After a stroll down La Ramblas with hordes of Euro celebrators, we snuggled into an easy going New Years (Happy 2010, everyone!) followed by more mind blowing television…

That place looks epically delicious! Sorry to hear about your food poisoning. That’s the worst. Hope you feel better soon!
