Barcelona, a photo a day

Obama Barcelona


Ok, let’s see. Barak Obama’s roots are in Kenya, right?
Kenya is former British Africa, right?
So, what’s this? Mr Obama’s secret life in Barcelona, as a restaurant owner? Or some kind of retirement plan???

I could not find a lot of info about this place, on Google or elsewhere. They have a website, but it has been hacked by some idiot. Some bloggers are raging against the celebration of british rule in Africa they perceive in this place. Anyway, it is around the corner from where we live.
And this is inside. Very popular place!

OK, little game: spot the President of the United States of America!

  15. Looks like a nice place for a beer. Very interesting finding… One could at first say that they just named it like that for publicity but then you say the place is rather old… Maybe some distant relatives of his?
    God bless you!
