Time Flies

September 24, the day  of La Virgen de la Merced, the patron of Barcelona.
The city celebrates with parades, fireworks, etc. It's a big holiday.

49 years ago my friend Titina (Isabel) and I were celebrating and  walking around the Ramblas and ended up in Plaza Catalunya. We saw 2 guys looking around sort of bewildered and we went to talk to them.

It was Marvin and his friend George. And that's the day we met.
