Today is a day in the calendar that I miss most for not being in Barcelona.The 23 rd of April it's a day of two celebrations, Sant Jordi ( St George's day ) where roses are given as a sign of love and book day when gift books are exchanged with friends and family.The centre of Barcelona is full of bookseller and red rose stands which by early evening the streets are full of smiles, laughter, music, people walking in the streets with handful of books on their way to hook up with friends for evening drinks also to celebrate it with those of the name Jordi too.This evening there's a very important football match, Barcelona V Manchester United semi- final, which will another reason to have a party and have fun....Oh well, I'll just have to do with going to my local bookstore and get myself a book...Happy Book day and Feliz dia de Sant Jordi!
