Barcelona August 3rd, 2013 9:16am

Well, that was amazing. I can honestly say that was by far the best walking tour I've ever been on. What I thought was going to be a close study of Orwell's time in Barcelona was actually a passionately told political and social history of Catalonia before and during the Spanish Civil War, and personal histories of the people who fought. From the political situation in Europe that led to the rise of fascism in several countries, to the Popular Olympics that were scheduled to start just as the workers rose against against the military coup, to the heroism in the face of brutality, to the struggles of surviving Republican soldiers during and after WWII, Nick LLoyd's tour Orwell's Barcelona is not to be missed!

In LA to see Tim Robbins in 1984. And to relax.
