A visit to the Museu d'Història de Barcelona, which was the last place we visited on our long day out in Barcelona. We almost didn't find it, but saw it after coming out of the Archives of the Crown of Aragon and into Plaça del Rei. Once inside, we had to put our large bags in lockers and got a key (later went back to fetch our bags).
There was Roman ruins under the museum, which you go down in a lift to see.
The Barcelona City History Museum (Catalan: Museu d'Història de Barcelona, Spanish: Museo de Historia de Barcelona, acronym MUHBA) is a city museum that conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the historical heritage of the city of Barcelona, from its origins in Roman times until the present day; it is funded by the Barcelona municipality. The museum's headquarters are located on Plaça del Rei, in the Barcelona Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic). It also manages several historic sites all around the city, most of them archaeological sites displaying remains of the ancient Roman city, called Barcino in Latin. Some others date to medieval times, including the Jewish quarter and the medieval royal palace called the Palau Reial Major. The rest are contemporary, among them old industrial buildings and sites related to Antoni Gaudà and the Spanish Civil War. The museum was inaugurated on 14 April 1943; its principal promoter and first director was the historian Agustà Duran i Sanpere.
MUHBA Plaça del Rei. In the Gothic Quarter, Ciutat Vella district. Headquarters of the Museum. Entrance through Padellàs House courtyard, one of the best examples of Catalán gothic courtyards in private houses (built in the 15th and 16th centuries, reconstructed 1931). Visit to the remains of a whole quarter of the ancient Roman city of Barcino in the archaeological underground. The archaeological area under Plaça del Rei covers over 4000 m2 There is an exhibition about daily life in Roman houses and a walk over factories (laundry, dying, salted fish and garum, winery) shops (tabernae) walls (intervallum, inner parts of the towers) and streets (cardo minor). There are also found the remains of the early Christian and visigothic Episcopal architectural complex (cross shaped church, bishop’s palace, baptistery). A small exhibition outlines the medieval history of Barcelona below the romanesque vaults of the medieval Royal Palace, which two main architectural pieces are the large ceremonial hall called Saló del Tinell covered with large round arches (14th century), and the palatine chapel of Saint Agatha (14th century) with its original altarpiece, a 15th-century work by the Catalán painter Jaume Huguet. Salo del Tinell often houses temporary exhibitions.
Under the museum, going around the ruins of Roman Barcino. Was also objects on the way along the raised paths.

Name: Boru Doyo
Location: Liban Woreda of Guji Zone, Bura Dhera Kebele
Boru Doyo is 38 years old with 12 children and is the leader of this cluster. They have experienced
shortage or rain for consecutive seasons. The streams have dried up forcing them to travel multiple hours to fetch water. His crops failed last season because of sporadic short rains and the season the teff didn't even have a chance to sprout. The seeds just remain in the ground.

He came running up to us with a log in his teeth and dropped it at our feet, so we could throw it for him.

The view from Fetch. A West Coast gray backdrop against cedar hemlock greens and Lampshade red. Interior vs exterior landscape.
The dogs fetching the floating sticks were well worth the price of admission.
Turns out we'd been to this exact spot on our last visit to Salida, years ago when we lived on the Western Slope.

Just two kids outside playing ball.
My mother can play some serious baseball. Even after years of not playing, she launched that ball so high in the air that this picture captured it on the way down! She still rocks.
Chili wanted to play fetch, but it confuses her to play fetch with her tug toy, so we got her a giggling bouncy ball. A tennis ball was not a good solution because it's too bouncy; this one has some weight and less bounce, so it works much better. She loves it and plays fetch very well.

Foster dog Pandora is making some wonderful progress!
For anyone who is on Facebook and would like to follow her transformation from puppy mill dog, to now foster, and eventually her own furever home she has her own page!
Betty the Spaniel expends some energy on the steep slopes of Otley Chevin. This dog moves so fast she is rather difficult to photograph in motion at close range. Consequently, the image was shot from the top of a hill at maximum zoom when she was running back up towards the camera.
After playing the game for a couple of minutes, the dog apparently realised that we humans weren't actually required at all - she started bringing the ball back up to the top of the slope, dropping it for her own purposes and then chasing it all the way back down again. I'm not sure if that's a sign of slow-wits or keen intelligence!

A labor of love
has no gravity.
Work done for joy
increaces the energy
of joy.
Fetch what you love,
bring it to your soul
with a smile.
Day 138 of 366
This evening after work I took a trip over to Fountain Head Park to see what I might find. Normally I will see ducks, geese and other water fowl but nothing today. There were a couple of families their fishing and a few guys out in boats but no water fowl. There was a guy there with his golden retriever that was throwing a ball out into the lake for him to retrieve.

Bogart's weight is up. Seriously up. Five pounds. He's supposed to weigh 50 pounds, and he's just over 55 pounds. Ouch. He sprained his L back knee this past summer and we have not been so aggressive about getting him an hour of exercise per day since then. . . and didn't bother to adjust his food. It wouldn't be a big deal if he were four-legged, but that front leg carries 60% of the weight by itself. We were told to keep his weight at 50 pounds. Sorry, Bogart. Not so many treats for a while. Sigh.
